Thinktank, Science museum in Millennium Point, Birmingham, England
The four-floor facility contains more than 200 interactive exhibits and artifacts organized in themes that progress from past to future technologies.
The museum opened in 2001 as part of a £114-million development, replacing the former Museum of Science and Industry from Elkington Silver Electroplating Works.
The exhibitions connect visitors with Birmingham's manufacturing heritage through displays of vehicles, steam engines, and industrial innovations produced in the region.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with extended opening hours during Birmingham school holidays.
The Smethwick Engine, built by James Watt in 1779 and recognized as the oldest operating steam engine globally, performs scheduled demonstrations.
