Our own interactive gallery, Wonderlab, is the Science Museum Group’s pioneering interactive gallery with current editions at the Science Museum in London and the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, and a brand new one in development at the National Railway Museum in York.
Wonderlab ignites curiosity and a passion for science. It provides an exciting environment where children, alongside adults, can explore and be inquisitive and inspired.
We can support you to create a wonderful and memorable interactive gallery or experience for your organisation.

Changing temporary displays and exhibitions is key to drawing new audiences as well as keeping existing ones coming back. It also provides the opportunity to engage with communities, align with government agendas, and raise national and international profiles. Our critically acclaimed exhibitions and public programme range from cutting edge contemporary science exhibitions to those exploring the great history of science.
Through our experienced team of curators and researchers we thrive to promote new ways of understanding collections, audiences, and exhibitions.
