In November the Science Museum in London will reopen its hands-on science gallery, Launchpad, following a £4 million make-over. With support from Shell, Nintendo, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Zochonis Charitable Trust, Launchpad will relocate from the basement of the Science Museum to its third floor. The revamped gallery will feature 50-plus interactive science exhibits, housed in a bigger space (1200m2) and with more natural light and ventilation.
