Ever wondered how our ingenious scientific instruments work?

Join the History of Science Museum’s volunteers for an afternoon getting hands-on with some of the collections — and see their amazing objects in action.

And if you’re visiting as a family, why not grab a Light and Space backpack to explore science stories in every gallery?

The Museum worked with students from Iffley Academy special school and scientists from the Rutherford Appleton Space Lab to design these SEND-friendly packs that will appeal to children of all ages.
