Overview
Founded in 1857, the Science Museum holds over 300,000 objects spanning from Stephenson's Rocket locomotive to the Apollo 10 command module. The hands-on Wonderlab gallery and IMAX cinema make it especially popular with families. It sits on Exhibition Road alongside the Natural History Museum and the V&A, making it easy to combine all three in a single day. Free permanent collection (special exhibitions and IMAX ticketed). 5-minute walk from South Kensington tube station.
