I went to the Science Museum today to visit the ‘making the modern world’ part of the museum.
Further to my article about the British library, the website of ’making the modern world’ section is very rich. It offers a lot of very interesting information: a detailed chronology of the different technical age, some rich media scene of different icons of invention including: the Revolution in the kitchen, the aerial adventuresses, the atomic age… a bunch of article about the impact of technology on the everyday life.

I am quite amazed by the digital presence of the London museums. Not only national museums are free but they offer a lot of very interesting content available on the web as well. It’s very reassuring to see traditional institutions like the Science museum and the British Library to name but a few, having such a significant digital presence.
It’s definitely going in the right direction and hopefully expending the traditional museum audience.
