ScienceChildrenClosed · Opens 10amFreeSouth Kensington

Dem Science Museum gelingt es, Themen wie Thermodynamik oder Informatik wirklich spannend zu machen. Die Dauerausstellungen reichen von der Luftfahrt über die Raumfahrt und die Medizin bis zur industriellen Revolution – mit echten Originalen: Babbages Differenzmaschine, das Kommandomodul von Apollo 10, das erste Strahltriebwerk. Die interaktive Wonderlab-Galerie ist für Kinder ein Höhepunkt, und im IMAX-Kino laufen spektakuläre Wissenschaftsdokumentationen.
