If you find this hard to understand, don't blame me! There is an element of mystery about it. Most information on the web, including Wiki has it that there is now a single museum combining what were separate university museums for the various sciences. The booklet about the meseum in English, available at the TIC, says nothing to refute such an impression. In fact the Museum of Science is opposite to a University Museum of Physics, one of Zoology and one of Geology. Unlike the Science Museum, these have nobody permanently on duty and in the case of Physics somebody has to come from a different building if you want to go in! I forewent this privilege. The Science Museum itself contains two rooms, one on darwin and evolution and the other, a huge hall on Light and Matter. This latter is full of interactive displays and is wel worth a visit.
