Science Museum

Over five floors and neighbouring the Natural History Museum is the splendour of the Science Museum. Such a chronicle of humanities search for answers is a huge amount of information to absorb in a single sitting, though a mere taste can prove thoroughly rewarding.

The museum has an overwhelming array of machines and hardware on display and bears a true reflection of Britain's proud history of technological advancements. Despite the complex subject matter the Science Museum uses interaction and information to show the process of these scientific discoveries, how the conclusions were reached and what effect they have on our lives.

The ground floor has an impressive collection of vehicles including various cars, locomotives and steam engines. Here there is also a display on Space exploration. The first floor is dedicated to food, gas, structural metals and communications. The second floor holds exhibits on nuclear power, printing and the rise of computing. Displays on the third floor include photography and optics with electricity. There is also a new exhibit called the Flight Gallery, which deals with the history and technology behind mans desire to fly. The two top floors contain many of the interactive displays and deal strongly with the science of medicine.

Within the building is an IMAX cinema, café and gift shop. Admission to the Science Museum is free.
