The Lunar Society was a regular gathering of great scientists and industrialists, including Matthew Boulton, James Watt, Erasmus Darwin, Joseph Priestley, Josiah Wedgwood and William Murdock. They met on the night of the full moon in order to find their way home afterwards.
Their curiosity, energy and tireless enterprise accelerated industrial progress. The Society has been described as the thinktank of the Industrial Revolution.
