Things are tough right now ...

They're tough for everyone :( But when coronavirus hit here in the UK, the museum had to close its doors to the public, and we lost practically all our income overnight.

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

Stay safe, stay at home! There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Apple iPad Launched in the UK

Apple iPad Launched in the UK

Hundreds of people gathered at Apple's flagship store in London to be among the first to buy an iPad. Like many others, the Apple store opened at 0800 BST so eager shoppers could buy one. The gadget went on sale in the UK, Europe, Japan and Australia, following delays caused by high demand in the US. There are warnings that some customers who pre-ordered the device by post to get it on the launch date may be disappointed due to delivery delays.
