As you'd expect, the Science Museum collections include science, medicine, ICT and engineering, but they also include artworks, and our interpretation includes social history as well as contemporary and historical science.

Find out more about the scope and size of our collections or see a snapshot of our collections.

You can see objects in Making the Modern World, Ingenious, the shiny, new Brought to Life, some gallery and exhibition pages also list objects.

In terms of properly machine-readable data, you can check out Sample object data (from the Science Museum's GOD).  GOD is our 'global object database'.
