	A day at the museum
		Museums and science centres form a prominent base for the communication of science, but despite their comparatively long history, the art of exhibiting science is relatively in its infancy.

		Science museums, by definition, are constrained by the fact that they are there to hold collections of historical interest as well as to promote public understanding of science.
