I really like the University’s museum here in Manchester. It is on Oxford Rd. about 2mins. walk from the Physics and Astronomy buildings. It is very nice to eat your lunch while wandering around looking at the various exhibits! From ancient Egypt to dinosaur bones to ancient money it’s all very interesting!
One nice thing I noticed today: it’s Science Week here in Manchester and in the museum there are a few people telling and showing people about magnets. I thought it was quite nice to see a small child (who couldn’t have been more than
explain to one of the demonstrators what he discovered. He reckoned the North poles don’t like the South poles and they try very hard to avoid each other. He asked the demonstrator why this was … that boy might be a scientist one day me thinks …
