Such a good museum. A real hidden treasure. So many fascinating mechanical inventions, from astronomical though to microbial, and art too! Would take this over the other museums any day

Brilliant beyond the binaries tour today by the young person who is studying Classics. Well researched and uncovered important and underrepresented history of some of the people behind the science. Thank you!
