Spacehips, aeroplanes, computers and even an Egyptian mummy are among the many thousands of objects in the Science Museum's world famous collections. An exciting combination of actual equipment, instruments and machinery along with sets, drama characters and a range of special events tell the story of science, technology and medicine. Popular galleries include the Exploration of Space, Land Transport and Flight, which houses many of the aircraft that made aviation history. Over 600 working exhibits encourage the visitor to experience science and technology "hands-on". In the interactive gallery Launch Pad, you can build a bridge, be a human battery, operate a model grain pit and lots more. Flight Lab offers exhibits that encourage you to test the principles of flight.
