Edinburgh's National Museum of Scotland is a almost a museum of everything, well not quite, but it's 5 museums in one:
history museum of scotland (all the way back to prehistoric)
museum of natural history
science museum
how scotland used to be part of the tech industry
art museum
I naively thought 4H woudl do it, but honestly not quite. Had I known I'd have started a bit more quickly than I actually did.
I probably spent a bit too long in the prehistoric section, which was nice:
A good section of the people who used to live in Scotland, all the way back to the Romans and Vikings:
how scotland was fighting england
cigarette for soldiers in hospitals, brilliant!
funny how that old dinosaur looks a lot like the pretended lock ness monster :)
dolly the sheep, the one that was cloned
Peter Higgs who theorized the Higgs boson over 50 years before Cern was finally able to confirm its existence
nice collection of computers, most european:
