Large objects
The Science Museum has an outpost in Wroughton, near Swindon, which houses its collection of large objects:
The whole spectrum of collections of scientific and technological interest are stored and conserved here ranging from the Lockheed Constellation airliner to early computers, from bicycles to the Woods Press and MRI scanners to hovercrafts. The Oxford branch of the British Computer Society has organised a group trip to Wroughton, to take place on the afternoon of 10 March, following a local pub lunch.
The entire Wroughton site will also be open all day from Friday 10 September to Monday 13 September, as part of Heritage Open Days.
You probably won't get to see all the 20,000 large objects housed in six aircraft hangers, but the edited highlights are sure to be worthwhile and fun.
