1903 The Institute of Hygiene was founded, mainly to organize exhibitions about public health and preventative medicine. It also taught courses in hygiene for non-medical workers.
1904 Its building at 33-34 Devonshire Street, London, opened in the autumn of 1904.
1912 Films were first shown, with the intention of making them a permanent part of the exhibition. Sir William Bennett was the President of the Institute of Hygiene. Arguably this was the first cinema in Britain set up for educational purposes.
