Science Museum, Exhibition Road, Chelsea, SW7 2DD
How Much:
Free!
Dan Dare: is there anybody cooler? Probably not. If you disagree, then head to the Science Museum some time before the beginning of November, and we think you'll probably change your mind.
This exhibition charts the development of new technologies during and after the Second World War - think radar, penicillin and the jet engine - and is characterized by a (now) amusing aesthetic of retro-futurism.
Until 31.03.11.
