The Science Museum is spread over seven floors, balconies and mezzanine
levels. The Wellcome Wing, offering four floors of interactive technology, is at
the west end of the museum and is accessible from the ground floor and third
floor of the main building. Power dominates the ground floor; here too are
Exploring Space and Making the Modern World. The first floor has Challenge of
Materials and Agriculture. On the second floor, a range of diverse galleries look
at energy, mathematics and medicine. The third floor includes Flight and
interactive galleries. The fourth and fifth floors (accessible only by one of the
lifts) house the medical history galleries but are closed for renovation.
