      I would head to the V&A or the British Museum. In the case of the latter is great to see what you can steal from other countries when you are the leading nation as museums first appeared.
      Agreed, NHM and SM are for kids. BM is far better and the VA is great too. Also consider the National Gallery.

        Yep, I love the BM.

          yeah, just the Parthenon Marbles and the Rosetta Stone make it worthwhile.

            As I'll only have enough time for one museum, which would you say is better/worth the visit ?
            Haven't been to the Natural History Museum since I was little. If we have time to kill, MrsF and I normally head to the Science Museum.

            There's plenty at the Science Museum to feed my autism for a while.

                  WHS. I've even done it on the beer scooter.

                  I'd go for the Science museum

                    We went in Feb to the History museum ad the kids enjoyed it but it was busy.
                    I think next year we will go to the science one.

                    It did seem a long way out of "town" but it was a chance to give the kids a rest on the tube.

                      You should try the surgery museum by Lincoln's inn fields. Though its got better since they removed the baby born with 2 heads - one on top of the other.....
