I miss the York Museum of Automata which closed in 1996. Here's what I'm missing...
Wellcome Collection is the free visitor destination for the incurably curious. Located at 183 Euston Road, London, it explores the connections between medicine, life and art in the past, present and future. The venue offers visitors contemporary and historic exhibitions and collections, lively public events, the world-renowned Wellcome Library, a café, a shop, a restaurant and conference facilities as well as publications, tours, a book prize, international and digital projects. Wellcome Collection is part of the Wellcome Trust.
'Miniatur wunderland' in Hamburg is worth a visit to see the largest model railway layout in the world, which includes aeroplanes and ships coming and going.

They have Thrust SSC, the only supersonic car in the world, but they seem determined not to let you see it properly.Coventry Tranport Museum. It up there with the best, and its free.

They keep it in a tent, you have to go in a second rate simulator first, then you are pushed out into the room they keep it in, it is in almost darkness then they start a short light show and feed in sound effects before the lights go down. Very frustrating, I went to Coventry just to see it, to have a proper look at it. Not a happy bunny.Do they blindfold you before being led to it?

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Welcome Collection near Euston Station.
I'm fitting it in with a pie munching session on Saturday.
Mrs Vernon less so, I suspect...
