Ingenious Tours of Science Museum Stores

Posted by michael on from the spelunking dept.

JamesD_UK writes "The Science Museum in London has now opened up its storerooms in west London to visitors. A number of guided tours, available on a first-come, first-served basis, have been arranged throughout 2004 and 2005 on topics ranging from mechanical engineering to cosmetics. The stores contain some 170,000 objects, compared with the museum's display of 15,000 objects."

  1. My favorite London science musem link by bluGill · · Score: 3, Informative

    One of my favorite sites, and something I think all geeks will enjoy: Tim Hunkin's machines He did some work for the London science museum (pictures on his site), so it is on topic.

    I hope he can stand up to a slashdotting... if not, save the link and look some otherday, it is well worth it IMHO.
