Its collection includes the models used by John Dalton to demonstrate his atomic theory, laying the foundations of modern chemistry, and parts from the world’s first commercially available computer. The Air and Space Hall is one of its most popular attractions, housing historic aircraft, cars and other vehicles, as well as a flight simulator."

"Museum of Science and Industry, MOSI for short, is an excellent museum and you can easily spend a few hours exploring the interactive exhibitions. You can see airplanes, look at a steam train or witness the transformation of a cotton ball to yarn. My favourite section is the upper floor of the main hall, where you can try interactive exhibitions and attempt to solve brain teasers."
