Attracting 3.3 million visitors annually, and educating adults and children alike since its inception in 1857, the Science Museum is a world renowned, iconic venue. Typically, visitors are fascinated by the award winning exhibitions, interactive displays, and the endless stories of scientific discovery. But, what is possibly more exciting than the displays themselves, is that the Science Museum can be hired as an event space, meaning guests can immerse themselves in scientific discovery after hours, away from the hustle and bustle of London.
