Nearby Wallace & Gromit Present... A World of Cracking Ideas

That loveable plasticine duo, Wallace and Gromit, are the perfect choice for the Science Museum to host an exhibition all about very British inventions. As well as a weakness for cheese, Wallace is well known for his mad cap designs - take his automatic tea, toast and trouser fitting morning alarm system. This family focused interactive exhibition takes visitors through Wallace and Gromit's home and displays some of the UK's first ever inventions to be awarded patents. The Science Museum holds the first 100 of these patents. Seeing these brilliant designs and never thought of before ideas will inspire kids to get creative and come up with their own inventions. More cheese, Gromit?About Science Museum
