Karl Friedrich Benz (1844–1929) was a German engine designer and car engineer, generally regarded as the inventor of the petrol-powered automobile and together with Bertha Benz (1849-1944) pioneering founder of the automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.

The now closed Museum of Science and Industry, was in a building on Newhall Street, Birmingham, previously the Elkington Silver Electroplating Works. It became the science museum of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in 1951 until its closure in 1997. Many exhibits were then moved to Thinktank which later opened as an entrance-fee-based exhibition in Millennium Point in Eastside, in September 2001.
