  • By Benedict de Silva
    Been to Science museums in Boston, Houston and London and find that this one offers the best hands on experiences with hundreds of robustly maintained exhibits. Seldom seen so many delighted children, and the inner children brought out of the most jaded adult. All exhibits equally well documented in several languages.
