On the glass wall of the Conservatory, this
dial faces slightly West of South. Designed to be read from inside, the layout
of the hour lines are the reverse of the normal wall dial (here am. hours are
on the right and p.m. on the left).
The gnomon (a rod that is parallel to the earth’s
axis) is placed outside to project a shadow, which can be read all round the
centre section. The central section is coloured green to represent the gardens.
The outer blue panels represent the various departments of the Museum.
Designer and maker: Roselyn Loftin - Delineator: David
