A peaked cap and a pith helmet recall the moment Henry Stanley uttered
the world's most famous greeting: "Dr Livingstone, I presume."
Next to them is the oxygen apparatus that helped Hillary and Tenzing
conquer Everest in 1953. And on the table is a briefcase bearing the
name of Captain Lawrence Oates, who left a tent in the Antarctic
saying: "I am just going outside and I may be some time."
