Further details
Roger Highfield, the editor of New Scientist magazine, donates an invisibility cloak, which looks like a real possibility in the real world.
Comedian, science fan and atheist Robin Ince donates the essential trifle, an example of instant gratification. There is also a proposal for having an excellent trifle 3 miles away.
Gareth Edwards, the director of the film Monsters which he made on a shoestring budget, gives the museum the first story ever told, despite the fact no-one knows what it is.
