Of course if it is a museum piece, Sideswipes house is no longer a house, it is a shrine a museum an archive and he is the CURATOR!

As you say mostly in the technology areas where it is constantly moving forward. But I also think part of what the museum is trying to tell you is don't just believe what you are told, don't get your information from one source, find out the truth. Some of it is just don't to lack of funding, others like the computer exhibit (that is always closed or I can't find when I am there) is out of date, and there is little excuse for that. But I can forgive these minor over sights for all the other things it gets very right. Next time you are there see if you can find the SNES on the ground floor. Is it a museum piece already?

Its not like History, history has happened and because of that doesn't tend to change much. Science does it changes. Now i'm sure you can explain to your child because you are not dumb that the largest plane in the world is now the A380 not the jumbo and that the fastest passenger plane in the world was Concorde but these are just a couple of the things in the science museum that bugged me some was new but a lot of it hasn't changed in over 10 years and the science has. They are great museums but until sirs Sugar or Branson sponsor the museum with their millions of wonga earned through science, so that it can stay current I'm worried what some kids will go away having learnt. Is a Tornado a cutting edge military aircraft? I think not.
