JamesD_UK writes "The Science Museum in London has now opened up its storerooms in west London to visitors. A number of guided tours, available on a first-come, first-served basis, have been arranged throughout 2004 and 2005 on topics ranging from mechanical engineering to cosmetics. The stores contain some 170,000 objects, compared with the museum's display of 15,000 objects."

One of my favorite sites, and something I think all geeks will enjoy: Tim Hunkin's machines [timhunkin.com] He did some work for the London science museum (pictures on his site), so it is on topic.
I hope he can stand up to a slashdotting... if not, save the link and look some otherday, it is well worth it IMHO.

Hey look, hon! It's 50 crates filled with plastic Hoberman spheres, tiny geodes, erasers shaped like dinosaurs, Gak(TM), and enough glow-in-the-dark stick-on stars to light up the whole city.
What's that? StoreROOMS?
Oh. Nevermind.
