The Science Museum holds the world's largest and most significant collection illustrating the history and contemporary practice of science, technology, medicine and industry. The Museum welcomes about 1.6 million visitors per year and is one of the top ten tourist attractions in the UK. About 15% of the Museum's collections are on display.

Ed Straten took these V2 photos in London at the Science Museum. One of the most interesting photos is the gyroscopic control platform seen in the first pic. Also shown is the detailed example of the engine assembly. Mikael Olrog recently sent this photo (right) showing that the Science Museum has moved the rocket and it is now displayed in the upright position, but the nose had to come off! We liked it better the way it was.
