The last decent thing I saw there was a mini exhibition of F1's contribution to technology outside of motor racing, but that was only temporary.
I was there a few weeks ago, and yes, its a bit of a let down. The first floor is great, but some of the others are a bit rubbish.

As for the original point, bring back charging. They do abroad, even Stonehenge is £8, and totally $hyte.

If we have to, to keep museum entry free, Develop Windsor Castle into very high class flats, use the money to pay for free entry into all museums

My children have been inspired by trips to museums, especially the natural history and science museums

In fact my 7 year old twins recently went on a school trip to the science museum and met Eugene Cernan, the last man to set foot on the moon, how cool is that

A few months ago I took all 5 of my children to the imperial war museum and we walked thru the holocaust exhibition in stunned silence

We live in an age where everything is priced but nothing is valued

Access to knowledge should be free and available to all, anything else is intellectual vandalism

I've experienced this abroad myself in other countries.

I suppose it probably contravenes some Human Rights nonsense that Labour forced us into
The way things go here we will end up paying and the foreign tourists will get in free.
