Explore the world's most significant, innovative and amazing discoveries in association with the Science Museum in London.
What is a discovery? It's when you observe, learn, or explain something for the first time--but not just anything. It's not like learning the French word for "breakfast" or where the closest grocery store is. A discovery isn't learning something that you didn't know. It's learning something that no one knew but that was always there, waiting to be found out.
