Science Museum	www.sciencemuseum.org.uk
	The museum was founded in 1857 under Bennet Woodcroft from the collection of the Royal Society of Arts and surplus items from the Great Exhibition. It was initially part of the South Kensington Museum, together with what is now the Victoria and Albert Museum, but was separated and became the Museum of Patents in 1858, the Patent Office Museum in 1863. This museum contained many of the most famous exhibits of what is now the Science Museum. In 1885, the Science Collections were renamed the Science Museum and in 1893 a separate Director was appointed. The Art Collections were renamed the Art Museum, which became the Victoria and Albert Museum. At this point the Science Collections had to be divorced from the Art Collection due to Queen Victoria’s stipulation that any title bestowed would be for art only. On June 26th 1909 the Science Museum, as an independent entity, came into existence. The Science Museum’s present quarters, designed by Sir Richard Allison, were opened to the public in stages over the period 1919–28.
