What next for mankind?
Article Abstract:
The Royal Academy is particularly keen to occupy the former Museum of Mankind building in the West End of London, England, as this building backs onto the Royal Academy's square. There are very few other ideas about potential uses for the building. One possible use would be a museum of curiosities, reflecting the collecting cabinets which were popular in previous generations. This would be a particularly attractive approach, as it would bring together the serious and the trivial.

The precise science of a great sleepover party
Article Abstract:
The Science Museum in London, England, has been running themed sleepovers for children aged between eight and 11 since 1993. The children are able to look around the museum's galleries, and can also take part in the 'Science Stops,' small, hands-on experiments. The evening's events may include a theatrical presentation, and the children are encouraged to participate in practical sessions. The event often ends with a quiz on the night's activities.
