Science Museum, Information Age

For more than 150 years, the Science Museum has been educating and entertaining visitors and has occupied its current building since 1928. Just as the progress of science is constantly advancing and expanding, so the Science Museum has expanded, continually updating and adding ever more exciting and dynamic exhibitions and venues. Even now, there is a masterplan to create a system of new galleries opening in 2013 and beyond.

Information Age is a fascinating space celebrating more than 200 years of innovation in information and communication technologies and is available for evening hire. Accommodating up to 400 guests, it is the perfect venue for standing drinks receptions.

Information Age is divided into six zones, each representing a different technology network. The gallery explores the important events that shaped the development of these networks, from the growth of the worldwide telegraph to the influence of mobile phones on our lives today.

Invite your guests to relive remarkable moments in history, told through the eyes of those who invented, operated or were affected by the new wave of technology, from the first BBC radio broadcast in 1922 to the dawn of digital TV. They can also see where Her Majesty The Queen sent her first Tweet, when she opened the gallery in 2014.
