Ages of Invention Gallery
The Science Museum Group is seeking a multi-disciplinary team for the renovation of the Discoveries Gallery to house a new Ages of Invention Gallery.
The gallery will explore 250 years of significant scientific, technological, and social change through extraordinary objects, stories, and people whose impact continues to shape our world today. The design will focus on creating a visually spectacular, object-rich, and sustainable gallery that enhances visitor experience, improves circulation, and integrates accessibility. The project includes the strip-out of existing infrastructure, base build works, and exhibition fit-out, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and timeless design.
