Artefacts at Scott’s Discovery Hut

Discovery Hut was established in 1902 to store and repair equipment while Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his party lived aboard the Discovery ship, which was moored beside the hut. Later expeditions used the hut for shelter or as a refuge.

The hut and more than 500 artefacts inside it – including century-old tins of baking powder – underwent conservation during 2014–2015.
