We meet Mark Day, a collections access facilitator, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Science Museum Group’s vast storage facility – a building so big it could fit three football pitches inside!

Discover how this top-secret former military airfield became home to over 80% of the Science Museum’s artefacts, and learn about the fascinating process of caring for, cataloguing, and moving tens of thousands of important historical objects.

Walk with us amongst rare vehicles, vintage aircraft, bizarre scientific instruments, and even robots! Hear the story behind some of Mark’s favourite objects, including a magical Victorian prism, a robotic trumpet player, and an unexpectedly famous rubber duck that helped scientists land a probe on a comet!
