Scientific paper

The astronomy collections at the Science Museum, London, are probably the richest in the world with respect to their diversity and size. Amassed over the last 150 years, they contain items as diverse as a model exhibited at the London Great Exhibition of 1851 to instruments used on today's robot space probes. To give a glimpse of the wealth of the collections, this account will focus upon a number of objects under four themes. These are early telescopes, people associated with astronomy, scientific expeditions and models in astronomy.
