in Greatbritain2017, Sciencemuseums
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 probably spent a bit too long in the prehistoric section, which was nice:
