Very interesting museum!

Looks like a very interesting laboratory.
Haven't been to it yet, but there are some science museums in San Francisco; the California Academy of Sciences and the Exploratorium; both of which I've visited many years ago (before digital cameras existed). Am overdue for a visit, thank you for the reminder.
In Los Angeles, the Getty Center and Huntington Library are definitely worth seeing. Not very science-oriented, but still worth visiting in my opinion.
My favorite museum of all time is the Musee de Orsay in Paris; again, not a science museum, but a great exhibition nonetheless.
I've yet to visit the watch museums of Geneva and Glashutte, I may have a new favorite soon.

Amazing poem …

We can never know how we will face death until it comes. I am constantly amazed, however, how ‘together’ most people are in the face of adversity. Can you imagine sitting down to write a poem on the eve of your execution for unjust reasons? A
Great Thread, Andrew.

Locally, I've only been to the Melbourne Museum (bit obvious, but used to go to the old one on LaTrobe st a lot), the Powerhouse and the one in Canberra. Have taken my nephews to Scienceworks (The Halls of Justice from Mad Max!), though. That said: I usua...
StarWars @ ScienceWorks

ScienceWorks in Melbourne recently hosted a travelling exhibition of Star Wars props, costumes and models, emphasising the science of StarWars such as magnetic levitation vehicles and robotics. Many hands-on displays. Who knows how this will inspire our k...

Thanks Ed, I am a big Star Wars fan too and it's nice to enjoy it all again with my kids. The exhibition ran for about 5 months but finished a couple of weeks ago. There were two Millenium Falcon models on display, the first one is really quite large and ...
