It's a great way for young visitors to learn about the world, the body, how things work and move. And when you buy an entry ticket, it allows you to come back as many times as you want for a whole year for no extra cost. As Eureka! is right next to Halifax train station, it's very easy to get to from all over the country. Museum of Museums Every time you visit the Museum of Museums, you'll be able to see something different. And that's because the things you see there are actually lent by other museums around the country. The museum always has lots of different vehicles, from ice-cream vans and old motorbikes to the different kinds of public transport people used to get to work many years ago. You can find out about all this and lots more. Cinema Museum Ronald Grant, who opened the Cinema Museum in the 1960s, travelled round the country and bought things from cinemas which were closing down. This included old film posters and wooden cinema seating. At the museum, you can now see these and much more, including the uniforms that cinema staff once had to wear. Please let us know by phone or email if you'd like to come. We'll be happy to see you, but we need to arrange a guide, as it’s only possible to visit the museum on an organised tour. xX Reading and Writing Par’2 Exam Practice TestSclberademaee Reading and Writing Part 3 Questions 14-18 For each question, choose the correct answer. ‘One day my dad said, ‘Why don't we have a street party?” This means that the street is closed so cars can’t use it, and people put tables and chairs out in the street, then have a party!
