An Exciting New Gallery for Young People Opens at the Science Museum!
Tomorrow the Science Museum opens a new, free interactive gallery aimed at 11 to 16-year-olds. Technicians: The David Sainsbury Gallery brings the world of technicians to life enabling young people to explore where technicians work, try out tasks they perform and meet real-life technicians from the gallery. Accompanying the new gallery is a series of stories from technicians working behind the scenes which you can read here.
From an after-hours mystery at the museum, the return of Imperial Lates, the South Ken Kids Festival, musical performances and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland – there are plenty of reasons to plan a great day out in South Kensington this Autumn! To find out what’s on this weekend, visit our website here.
