Abstract
THE Science Museum has suffered damage by bombs during air raids on London. A number of bombs have fallen in the vicinity of the Museum, and although the building has suffered from the loss of windows, little damage has resulted to the collections. In one attack practically all the windows on one side of the building were broken, as well as many of the roof lights. Fortunately, the damage sustained by the Museum collections is slight, although a number of exhibition cases in certain galleries have been damaged by blast. Although the Museum is closed to the public, the Science Library continues to remain open, and to afford the usual facilities to readers and borrowers.
