We are getting our first look at the new permanent exhibition at the Science History Institute in Old City.

The exhibit is called Fire and Gold, which takes visitors back centuries to the mysterious world of alchemy.

It also explored how alchemists experimented with metals, minerals, and medicine, and chased the dream of turning lead into gold.
