VISITORS to the Wroughton Science Museum this weekend will be in for a treat as it opens up two of its hangars which are usually out of bounds to the public.
Hangar L4 will open its doors to reveal some of the museum's larger items dedicated to the mechanisation of agriculture and public transport over the last two centuries.
There are examples from horse drawn buses and trucks, to steam, petrol and diesel powered vehicles.
These include combine harvesters, tractors, steam engines, as well as buses and trucks.
Hangar L1 stores the museum's vast collection of medium sized objects.
An Aladdin's cave of exhibits will be brought to life as one of the museum's trained tour guides selects the most interesting exhibits and explains the stories behind each one, including witches' cauldrons, computers and bicycles.
Also on display will be a massive Fleet Street printing press, built in 1927.
Visitors can learn all about its history from live talks throughout the day or from a special documentary.
Outside there will be a series of ploughing demonstrations using ploughs through the ages.
