In some woodworking traditions designing and building a staircase was considered to be a journeyman's masterpiece; that is, the work which graduated him to the rank of "master". So having one's name attached to a (really nice) staircase is not unsurprising.
We've always see the interesting and valuable things from the inside. Thank you for giving us the tour of the structure! The Royal Society is truly a great place to learn the progression of mankind! Stay safe guys!
And this is another very good reason why Keith is the head librarian. He knows the quite detailed history of every spot of the building!!! Kudos for you, Keith!
30 seconds in and I'm trhilled by the unique things seen in this buidling. I love the humor these two share with each other, the dry wit, the gentle, fun loving little jabs they take at each other.
As a fan of periodic videos for many years now, this channel is one of my all time favorite youtube channels. Hats off to you Brady, thank you for shedding light on some of the most amazing objects in the history of humankind! If the reading room is the brain of the royal society, Keith would be the central nervous system. He makes all the different parts work in unison and function, all for the betterment of humanity! Thank you Brady and thank you Keith! Truly astounding what the both of you do!!!
there are plenty of Royal Societies out there-Royal Society of Literature, Royal Meteorological Society, Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. but the fact that *the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge* was founded at least a century before any of the other ones made sure that they would be _the_ Royal Society.
I have fallen in love with this institution and is thank to Brady who makes such and effort to show the hard work of Keith and his love for history, if this wonder that we must show a child in schools then all find how fun exciting history is, he doe the same with math, chemestry, physics he lend us his sence of wonder
I popped in to the building once when I had some extra time in London. Couldn’t explore far as the staff were having their Christmas lunch, but I saw the exhibits around the entrance hall, the German stairs abutting the library, and an exhibition in the basement
A minor technical correction. Tim Berners-Lee did not invent the Internet. He invented the World Wide Web, (not the same thing) or more specifically the version of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) which has developed into our modern web browsers. The Internet was developed much earlier as the ARPA Net. For an excellent, easy to understand book on the Internet, I recommend "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet" by Matthew Lyon and Katie Hafner.
7:49 Keith jests, but would Brady not be an excellent candidate for a Statute 12 election? How many other people have brought science to the masses to the extent that Brady has?
Brady's impact on the future of science and mathematics is difficult to comprehend. I recently started my undergraduate degree at UCL and almost everyone I know watched the Numberphile, Computerphile, etc. videos and were at least partially inspired by them to pursue the sciences. There's a coming generation of scientists who owe their discoveries to Brady. If that's not worth something, nothing is.
That was a wonderful tour. Thank you. I greatly appreciate the small easter eggs that are found such as the window knobs and the friezes above the entryway. That is because, with those tiny unexpected easter eggs, there is no “anticipointment”. The anticipation of seeing something usually somewhat negates the excitement of seeing it. Thus, to enjoy something fully, it’s best to have no expectations and to find things unexpectedly. I do hope that all of Kieth’s knowledge (about every nook and cranny and staircase) has been written down for his successors. He is truly the master of his house and no one knows the house like its master.
OMG this one was amazing Brady. Loved this very special tour, including you accepting your membership of The Royal Society. Don't knock Keith showing those window knobs, I loved them as well. A++ Brady.
I have only just seen this video. I spent a lot of time at the Royal Society during during the 70s and early 80s. My Grandparents lived in a flat which was right at the top ,they looked after various professor's that were visiting and staying. I met Sir Bernard Lovell many times. My Grandad was a caretaker. I spent so so many days there,i knew my way around so well. It looks quite different now in some places .Huge memories for me and my sister. I have so many stories.
This was spectacular; everything thing I needed right now!! I wonder if Brady or even Keith for that matter, ever thought that Keith himself would become such a pivotal figure in these videos? I mean, Keith is just about as fascinating as the Society itself. I think if you took Keith away, the videos would be a bit....boring? Maybe not the best adjective but he really makes the videos pop, especially with how he and Bradey get on. lol. Such great fun. Thank you all!
3:48 "was impressed by the ornate frames" so decided to make one that looks like a cross between a post-meeting whiteboard and a kindergarten arts and crafts class. There's a difference between ornate and just throwing different ideas together. I'm with Brady on this one. The portait itself is fine(ish), but the frame ruins it imo. Apart from the style, which we can debate if it's 'good' or 'artistic' enough, there's fár too much white in the entire thing. White portrait, thíck white frame, hung an a white wall. The first thing that comes into my mind is "we were just messing around". There's no focus. Even the portrait itself gets lost within it, with the subtle aquarel style. Would have worked fár better, I think, if his mind map was incoorporated in the portrait itself, and the entire thing framed elegantly, a nice thin black or gold border. Perhaps even something reminiscent of ornate carved wood, but filled with digital, modern shapes, rather than swirls and flowers.
I think you need to be a Fellow of the Royal Society to get your portrait displayed there. And you need to be a highly distinguished scientist to become a FRS, so sadly, Keith doesn't qualify for a portrait.
Objectivity with Brady and Keith, Tasting History with Max Miller, and Reading the Past with Dr Kat should be TV shows. Keith, Max, and Dr Kat are clearly so enthusiastic about their subjects, and that makes them all fascinating to listen to. I could listen to them all for hours.
If I ever make it to England, Royal Society well be the top place I'll visit, and I'll live there til they call the Queen's guard on me. By the way, where well they hang Mr Moore's portrait?
11:52 Bryan Organ is probably the most well-renown portrait artists of Britain, nice. From a traditional-artist-ish perspective it really nice in general to see contemporary artists of different styles being still commissioned. On 20:37 it is really an adorable portrait. PS: 10:10 Presumably this would've been a servants' room of sorts initially? PPS: 15:15 Petition to install more mirrors for more recognition of camera operators
I guess they are still using the famous lecture theatre in Burlington House. So does the RS still own that building or is it just they have use of the room?
I saw a video by CGP Grey regarding the difference between the City of London, and London England. Very interesting video, and well worth a look. Lots of history there.
Never realised the Royal Society had such close ties with Germany. Might be worth doing a future episode on the most important contributions made by Germans to TRS - whether scientific or otherwise. :)
"It's optics"
Keith has the best sense of humor 😄
Unironically, a comic genius
He really does.
Why is that ironic, or unironic?
@@Locutus unironic.
@@axiomaticisak4350 Why is it unironic?
Keith's ability to retain information is incredible. This dude knows the name of the company that built the STAIRCASE 🤣
That's the Head Librarian of Royal Society for you. Gotta be the best of the bests.
Obscure historical trivia is what historians live for.

@10:26 Keith is so Pro you can't even tell he's disgusted by the painted bronze.
With a name like Kieth , im not suprised
Keith content is the way to make it through 2020! Thanks for this!
The way the guy is dressed in an insult to the integrity of the building.
I've missed you Objectivity! (Ps. Does Keith know how much of a fanbase he has acquired simply because of these videos? We love you Keith!!)
Keith is love. He is life
We've always see the interesting and valuable things from the inside. Thank you for giving us the tour of the structure! The Royal Society is truly a great place to learn the progression of mankind! Stay safe guys!
Thanks for watching Jake!
And this is another very good reason why Keith is the head librarian. He knows the quite detailed history of every spot of the building!!!
Kudos for you, Keith!
18:33 Sir Martyn Poliakoff Cameo !
Oh yeah - the hair! Well spotted.
Beautiful combination of new and old, what a fantastic place!
Agreed!
This episode the object is the royal society, itself.
Something I can't help but enjoy from this series is the flourishing of Brady and Keith's banter with each other
30 seconds in and I'm trhilled by the unique things seen in this buidling. I love the humor these two share with each other, the dry wit, the gentle, fun loving little jabs they take at each other.
Brady has for sure done enough to science by educating so many to be in the Royal Society and I'm not even joking
Among the greatest treasures of the Royal Society, Keith is near the top.

10:41 "That's a proper door that is". Brady showcasing his learned dialect
It is pretty bristol
The royal sociaty
Just the name feels prestigious.
I'm ways surprised how laid back and chill the videos are.
Keep up the good work.

Oh wow. That was brilliant. Keith is a wonderful tour guide - the stories he tells are captivating. Fascinating from beginning to end.
I'm so grateful for this video to exist, thanks so much.
I popped in to the building once when I had some extra time in London. Couldn’t explore far as the staff were having their Christmas lunch, but I saw the exhibits around the entrance hall, the German stairs abutting the library, and an exhibition in the basement
Keith's ability to recall information is amazing. Thank you for what seemed like my own personal tour.
I love how Brady is wearing gloves and Keith isn't
Are you downplaying the White Gloves of Destiny?
They're probably worried that Brady is too handsy, and will touch everything.
@@mk_rexx Keith's gloves aren't here because they're occupied beating Super Smash Bros characters in Final Destination
But Brady still doesn't take his hat off indoors.
@@polvalente Keith's glove is Master Hand and Brady's glove is Crazy Hand

Brady rocks , he not only covers the obvious he smothers the obvious , he's in the moment ,like a 10 yr old , he's dangerous at any speed

I appreciate these videos so much. Thank you Brady and Keith.
And James of course!
I love Moses! I didn’t expect to see him again. Can we get a video all about Moses.
Have Moses wear the white gloves!

One of the best videos!! Loved the tour!!

Thanks for the tour, Keith and Objectivity team. What a beautiful and eclectic set of rooms and exhibits / art / objects.
Amazing tour. I can't wait to see it in person someday.
Hats of for Keith, the walking encyclopedia...
This is such a treat, thanks for the tour! I loved every minute of it.
The ceilings are so beautiful!
18:27 The moment I realised Sir Martyn is a fellow of The Royal Society
This was spectacular; everything thing I needed right now!!

I cannot stop watching this channel. Brady and Keith are amazing
11:03 -- Anyone else having "The Far Side" flashbacks ... ?
BTW 19:04 needs to be a jigsaw puzzle yesterday. That would make an awesome puzzle ...
I was wondering if Keith was going to make that joke and push on the door when it was time to pass through.
I enjoy Keith's voice so much I could listen to him read a phone book.
Brady: "It's never this hot in England!"
CGP Grey: "I sense a disturbance in the force."
"Just another British scientist at that point." I feel personal attacked Keith
I think what he said was: "Just another British scientist of that period."
Brady should organise a pot to have a nice portrait of Keith being painted, and then donate it to the Royal Society.

Agree, that portrait at 20:37 captures something expressed in her eyes very well.
good fun, interesting. Thanks Brady. Keep them coming
Where is the Library CAT? Everylibrary should have a resident cat.
Instant like. Super tour. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice indeed, brings back many great memories of my many visits to the Royal Society
Great video! I recently found this channel and I'm loving it
18:34 Nice reference there, Brady! I'd love to be there too, from time to time.
Wow! even a portrait of Olivia Newton-John's grandfather.
That *was* an amazing tour!! Thank you so much!
The Royal Society should be a Wonder in the Civilization games.
I just adore this channel.
Is there a term limit for the head librarian? :( 18:35
Very nice to see. Thanks for the tour!
To me Brady has done more than any other person to share the this great historic society!!
He should be a member based on that
Thank you very much for this tour.
beautiful place. i love the little small details.
00:27 That's because there's a heat-wave @CGPGrey
a fellow tim?
Keiths memory of science history is like asmongolds memory of wow stuffs.....
both are incredible, but ones more useful :P
Keith rocks!
Awesome video. As always. Thank you Keith and Brady
Lots of pictures of men that look like Dr Brian May
Very interesting to compare all the portraiture. It's a lovely tour of an amazing building by two very nice people, great video haha!
Keith is awesome.
I love Keith
Ooh! at 17:15 you can just see a miniature copy of Eduardo Paolozzi's "Newton" sculpture in the background.
Keith Moore Building Tour.
So snappy. Market it!
7:33 that chair is driving me crazy!
I wonder who did that?
15:12 hi james!!
I have to go to work so I've only seen 2 minutes so far, but I already have to press the like button!
I mash the like button as soon as I open any of Brady's videos.
Fantastic tour!
Amazing tour. Well done.
I absolutely yearn to visit there in person.
I guess they are still using the famous lecture theatre in Burlington House. So does the RS still own that building or is it just they have use of the room?
@12:20 two years latter, is there a video to the secret of the painting?
What a wonderful video!
Marvelous...many thanks
Great tour! thank you.
A joy! Thanks!
Likely my favorite installment yet. ! But where is the tiered theater from 'The Royal Society' lectures? Not a different campus surely?
12:15 .....was this video made? what is it about the painting?
Wow what a great walk through.
I really enjoy Objectivity, and it escapes me why the channel has relatively few followers.
Fantastic stuff
So interesting, thanks :)
Sir Tim Berners-Lee did not create the Internet, he created the WWW. There is a big difference.
I agree with Keith on the brass knobs.
They need to start an channel call "subjectivity" where Keith is filming and James is on camera so everyone has a shot at it
Keith knows so much stuff
a very beautiful building
I saw a video by CGP Grey regarding the difference between the City of London, and London England. Very interesting video, and well worth a look. Lots of history there.
