Science Museum bites bullet and breaks up rare collections
The Science Museum is relocating its prestigious library to Wiltshire in the wake of a financial crisis that led to fears that it might lose the unique collection altogether.
The 120-year-old library, which includes original works by Galileo, Newton and Einstein, has been housed for the past 14 years in Imperial College Library in central London.
The transfer of books to the museum's storage facilities more than an hour away at Wroughton, near Swindon in Wiltshire, began in September. The move is not expected to be complete until autumn next year.
A Science Museum spokeswoman said the decision to relocate had been taken because the museum could no longer afford to run the service at Imperial.
She said: "As a public body we have a responsibility to spend public money responsibly and efficiently. The new arrangements will ensure that it runs effectively and sustainably."
