London’s Science Museum is one of THE most exciting places I’ve even been.
In one building they have…
Models from Wallace & Gromit:
A mock up of Apollo 11:
Charles Babbage’s difference engine. If it weren’t for this there wouldn’t be what I’m typing this on:
A Ford Model T:
The original model that Watson And Crick used for discovering the structure of DNA:
The *actual* Apollo 10 command module…
Their reception area:
An Enigma decoding machine:
And this. Listening Post. It takes fragments of text from chatrooms all over the internet and displays them, some with music, some without, some themed… It’s hypnotic:
They even have thermal imaging cameras you can play with 🙂
Best. Place. Ever.

Quite possibly the most interesting place I’ve been in EVER. Well, except maybe for the Natural History Museum next door.
I bet you got your photo taken with the Apollo 11 astronaut. 😉
Ohh excellent- will have to get there with the boys eventually! The Smithsonian has some similar space things but it looks more approachable there. Love the model T- was in my great grandmothers garage once and she was storing one for a friend- great to actually be able to sit in one!
