Lucky you, Emm! But for me the most fascinating pieces would be those locomotives. I'm sure this museum in London is the best place to learn about steam engines and trains in general. I recently worked on a book about the origins of railways in my land and it would be great to see those old trains in this museum. I'll click on that link to the Science Museum :) Thank you, Emm!J.

Which was your favourite one then?<br /><br />@ Technogran: Thank you so much for the links to your posts! I have been using WLW since 2008 and I cannot <i>believe</i> how much I didn't know. I know several beginner bloggers who would only be too happy to see those links!<br /><br />@ Morten: Me too! What do you have out your way?<br /><br />@ Steve: Thank you!! I hope you make it out there some day as there is definitely something for everyone.<br /><br />@ William: I think it is always looking out for which museums have just received some funding. I hated the Natural History Museum back in 2005 and loved it last year!<br /><br />@ The Londoneer: That must have been loads of fun!!! And you are right - this post took a huge amount of time to do and took the entire weekend, setting back my other blogging by several days! Certainly a labour of love!<br /><br />@ Sheila: Oh wonderful! Which university did he go to? I think museums are great for stimulating inquiring minds and set the groundwork for higher learning.<br /><br />@ Berryvox: Go for it!! Perhaps the science museum might not be as impressive but I am sure you have other interesting sites in your area!! (I'm thinking more nature-oriented things?)<br /><br />@ Cassandra: Ha! In London you don;t need to look hard to find them. They are all really well advertised and sign posted etc.<br /><br />@ John: I thought of you when I visited there!!
