The Science Museum
Yesterday I went to the Science Museum, just to play with science. The major exhibits were all based around utilizing renewable resources, such as solar, wind, and water. Recycling was another major subject. Although based around a younger audience I enjoyed pulling the levers, flipping the switches, and typing in my answers on how to save the world from pollution, hunger, and inequality. All around Kristen and I were nothing but kids, and I mean small little 7-15 yr olds. I felt as if all the parents were giving me the evil eye, but I still had a blast. One exhibit took four people to pump enough water into a reserve that, once filled, spilled over a crank that powered a television and camera that clicked on displaying the ‘hard workers’ on the television. There was one whole floor dedicated to plastics, and hanging from the ceiling were hundreds of red strips of plastic that we had to walk through, it was quite an experience. None of the exhibits were visible until one had passed through the plastic barriers, which, if I was claustrophobic would’ve been very uncomfortable. It was a well deserved break from the constant ‘adult orientated’ museums of history passed; although I’m looking forward to another wonderful afternoon at the Tate Modern.
