拍品 1 The Sunday Sale - Property of the Academy of Medical Sciences, removed from 41 Portland Place, W1 (Lots 1-57); and The Robert Harling Collection, (Lots 61-173)
Founded in 1998, the Academy of Medical Sciences works to promote advances in medical science. The Academy is one of a small group of National Academies of the UK, alongside the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering. In 2008, the Academy acquired new premises at 41 Portland Place, London. This building was chosen by the Ciba (later Novartis) Foundation in 1947 as the location for a new charitable foundation devoted to promoting international cooperation in medical and chemical research. At its inception, the foundation commissioned Dr Christoph Bernoulli from Switzerland to furnish the building with Adam and Regency pieces in keeping with the age of the house, creating a rich collection and a stimulating environment for the many scientists - including 83 Nobel Laureates who visited the building over the following 60 years.
