Once as a child i went to the Birmingham Science Museum but i have not been to the current incarnation, known as
Thinktank, since it relocated from Newhall Street to the Millennium Point until now. To be honest most of the exhibits have not changed though all i could remember from Newhall Street was the City of Birmingham locomotive.
My main reason to go was to see the tramcar. Trams are my theme for this year and so i thought i ought to see the sole surviving in one piece Birmingham Corporation tramcar (i have seen the other survivor at the AMRTM before). Thinktank is nice though it would be nicer if there were a few more exhibits.
You can see my photos here anyway.
