Science & natureFamily friendlyPermanentFree
In Science Museum.
The ground floor is steam. The Energy Hall holds the oldest surviving James Watt beam engine and, rebuilt piece by piece, the attic workshop Watt left at his death in 1819, brought here with its 8,300 objects when his house came down. Past it stands the Apollo 10 command module, which went round the Moon thirty-one times in May 1969 on the rehearsal for the landing, and Making the Modern World lines up Puffing Billy, the oldest surviving steam locomotive, Crick and Watson's DNA model and a V-2. Upstairs: Medicine, five rooms built on Henry Wellcome's collection; Mathematics, in a gallery Zaha Hadid's studio shaped around a 1929 aeroplane; Information Age, a century of communication; and Space and Flight, where the aircraft hang overhead. The galleries are free. Wonderlab, the hands-on floor for children, and Power Up, a room of playable video consoles, are ticketed and sell out.
