The non-Science Museum half was temporarily on display in the Wellcome Collection exhibition on brains. Managed to accidentally see both halves on the same day. If I’d known your quest then I would’ve done everything in my power to make it a reality…

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Charles Babbage’s?
Igor: [pause, then] No.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: Then you won’t be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby… Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?
Igor: I’m almost sure that was the name.

I feel the need to go on an epic quest to reunite the two halves of Babbage’s brain and use it’s awesome power to save the world.
