The History of the Science Museum

Inaugurated in 1857 where the Victoria and Albert Museum is today, it was inspired by the popularity of the 1851 Grand Exhibition in Hyde Park and linked the objects used in the Great Exhibition with the Royal Society of Art collection.

The Museum was moved to the current building in 1928.

Viajar é conhecer lugares diferentes. Nossa proposta não é apenas viajar para os locais, é ir além. É passar um período maior, interagir com as pessoas da cidade e sentir a cultura e o dia a dia de cada local. Da lista de países que conheci, optei por morar em alguns lugares para vivenciar a experiência com mais profundidade e poder compartilhar com mais detalhes e exatidão além de descobrir os segredos de cada local, não se limitando aos pontos turísticos mais famosos.
