Housing the Science Museum’s most important and iconic artefacts, this major new gallery opened to the public in July 2000. The exhibits form a dramatic sequence of objects which chart the rise of the modern industrial world. WilkinsonEyre acted as lead designers for the project, taking responsibility for all aspects of the exhibition design.
Working with the existing architecture, removing some elements entirely and enhancing others, the vast interior space has been transformed to introduce lightness and clarity.
