Science Museum, Making The Modern World

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.

This amazing gallery chronicles the inventions that shaped modern society, in a magnificent space that’s available for evening hire. With a capacity of up to 750 for a drinks reception or up to 350 for dining, it’s a fabulous venue for a spectacular large-scale event.

Making the Modern World’s exceptional collection traces the cultural history of industrialisation from 1750 to the present day and features some of the museum’s most remarkable objects.

Your guests can discover iconic exhibits including the Apollo 10 command module, Crick and Watson’s DNA model and the first Apple computer. Or they can muse on thought-provoking objects including a 10,000 year clock and a porcelain bowl saved from Hiroshima.

Hiring our Making the Modern World gallery means that you can take full advantage of our in-house lighting system and lighting technician for the duration of your event. Display the latest LED technology to enhance your event and benefit from shortened set-up times as well as various creative lighting options.
