Science Museums Worth Visiting
Science museums and children's museums are great
places to go and see things and touch things and make things work.
Whenever I visit a city, I check out their museums.
Here are some I would recommend.
Technorama
(Oberwinterthur, Switzerland)
Fantastic place, go if you are in the area.
They have a large area dedicated to magnetism.
I spent a whole Saturday there in the fall and was hoping I could be locked in
overnight!
They must have the world's largest Wimshurst machine.
Exploratorium
(San Francisco)
A fun place to visit - take your time looking at all the stuff they have! A
lot of good resources available from them.
Franklin Institute
(Philadelphia)
This has a lot of basic electromagnetic experiments that you can play
with.
MSIChicago
(Museum of Science and Industry - Chicago)
A huge place, lots and lots of good stuff to see.
Discovery World
(Milwaukee)
They had a nice display on magnets, electromagnets and motors, but since they
moved, they haven't reappeared.
They have a great Tesla show, and a lot of other disciplines.
Swiss
Museum of Transport (Luzern, Switzerland)
Trains, planes, automobiles, ships, submarines, balloons, busses, helicopters,
trams - they have them all, old and new, inside and out!
See how motors are used on trains and ships!
