Science Museum

The Georgian House Hotel is a great place to stay if you are planning to visit the Science Museum.  The museum is based in Kensington and is easy to reach walking, by bus or underground.

Location of the Science Museum

The Science Museum is located in Exhibition Road, SW7, South Kensington. The museum is free of charge and is open daily, but times vary, so do check, before you visit.

The Collections

The Science Museum's collections form an enduring record of scientific, technological and medical change since the eighteenth century. Though rich in British material, they result from worldwide acquisition. Vigorous collecting keeps them up-to-date, and museum staff constantly strive to improve not only their condition and accessibility but also visitors understanding of their significance.

The Science Museum Library has an international reputation in the history and the public understanding of science and technology.

The Science Museum is one of the most exciting image resources in the world, from the collections of the Science Museum, National Railway Museum and Museum of Photography, Film & Television. It offers a variety of services to both commercial and specialist clients, including loan of images, print sales, location filming and commissioning photography.

An Education Resource

The Science Museum covers every possible aspect of science, technology and medicine. It is very much orientated towards children with lots of interactive displays, which they will love.

One gallery provides information on water, sound and light aimed at 3-6 years old and even includes games, whilst two more galleries have interactive displays aimed at 7-12 years olds. Particular highlights for older children are the launch Pad where they can conduct their own experiments and the Flight Lab, where they can even have the chance to sit in a cockpit.

The Learning Studio at the science museum supports the educational and informational needs of its patrons by providing a wide variety of electronic, multimedia, and print-based learning resources. The science museum library collection is continually updated to keep pace with changing technologies and to support inquiry-based science teaching.

The Science Museum has been online since 1993. The Exploratorium was one of the first science museums to build a site on the World Wide Web. The science museum site now contains over 12,000 Web pages exploring hundreds of different topics. They currently serve seventeen million visitors a year. That makes them one of the most visited museum Web sites in the world.

All the other aspects of science from medicine, space exploration, and even the science of food are sufficiently covered. So there should be something for everyone in The Science Museum.
