Science Museum

ScienceChildrenOpen until 6pmFreeSouth Kensington

Il Science Museum riesce a rendere davvero appassionanti argomenti come la termodinamica e l'informatica. Le gallerie permanenti abbracciano volo, spazio, medicina e rivoluzione industriale, con reperti autentici — la Macchina Differenziale di Babbage, il modulo di comando dell'Apollo 10, il primo motore a getto. La galleria interattiva Wonderlab è eccezionale per i bambini, e il cinema IMAX proietta spettacolari documentari scientifici.
