Alan Turing: Life and Legacy

21 June 2012 — 21 June 2013 *on now

To coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing (1912–1954) a new exhibition celebrating the life of pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing will will examine the achievements of the man whose influence on computer science is still felt today, and whose wartime codebreaking helped take years off the length of World War II.

The Science Museum will present the most extensive collection of Turing artifacts assembled under one roof, including machines he devised and devices that influenced him and his colleagues. Together, the collection will offer an indisputable argument for Turing’s enduring global legacy.


Science Museum exhibition curator, David Rooney, said “The exhibition is an opportunity to present the remarkable work of a man whose influence reaches into perhaps the most widespread and increasingly popular public pastime of the 21st century, the use of the personal computing device, yet whose name is probably unfamiliar to the vast majority of people."

Climate Changing Stories

27 June 2013 — 27 June 2014

From the climate of 19th century London to science fiction inspired visions of the future, to wind turbines and the almost obsolete incandescent light bulb, the exhibition will take visitors on a fascinating journey through some of the Museum's best-loved galleries to discover objects and stories that reflect the human capacity to adapt to the challenges of our climate changing world.

Among the highlights of the display is the Bersey Cab - the first self-propelled vehicle for hire that appeared on the streets of London in 1897. Now, electric transport is firmly back on the agenda with charging points in London set to double in the next six months and a futuristic ‘driverless electric taxi’ in the offing. Could the car of our great-great-great-grandparents present a solution for greener cities today?

Oramics to Electronica: Revealing Histories of Electronic Music

29 July — 31 December 2013

Discover the history of electronic music from the 1950s until today. This exhbition has been co-produced with a group of musicians and with the help of people who made electronic music in the 1960s. Back then, electronic music was still an avant-garde experiment. How did it become part of the musical mainstream?

The exhibition celebrates the boundless creativity and ‘make do and mend’ mentality of musicians and engineers. It shows iconic instruments alongside home-built synthesisers and one-off inventions. New instruments such as synthesisers and samplers not only changed the sounds musicians could make, but also influenced the way they composed and performed their music.

The exhibition highlights the work of three British studios that produced electronic music in the 1960s and 1970s. Electronic Music Studios (EMS) experimented with computer music while developing some of the earliest commercial synthesisers to pay the bills. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop introduced electronic sounds to the masses through the theme tunes and sound effects its members made for radio and television. In the meantime, in her private studio in Kent, Daphne Oram developed a technique that allowed her to draw sounds. She called it Oramics, and the unique instrument she developed over the years, the Oramics Machine, is also on display.

Only in England: Photographs by Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr

21 September 2013 — 16 March 2014

See the first ever major London exhibition by work of British photographer Tony Ray-Jones, opening in Media Space, September 2013. Featuring over 100 works drawn from the Tony Ray-Jones archive at the National Media Museum, the exhibition will also include 50 rarely seen early black and white photographs by Martin Parr.

The exhibition will explore the relationship between these two important photographers and their fascination with the English.

Between 1966 and 1969 Tony Ray-Jones documented English customs and identity in a remarkable series of photographs. Humorous yet melancholy, these works attracted the attention of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London where they were exhibited in 1969. Tragically, in 1972 Ray-Jones died from Leukaemia aged just 30. However, his short but prolific career had a last influence on the development of British photography.

In 1970, Martin Parr, had been introduced to Ray-Jones and was inspired by his work to produce The Non-Conformists. These photographs were shot in black and white in Hebden Bridge and the surrounding Calder Valley. This project explicitly demonstrates the legacy and influence of Tony Ray-Jones.

Media Space is a collaboration between the Science Museum and the National Media Museum. Media Space will showcase the National Photography Collection of the National Media Museum through a series of exhibitions. Alongside this, photographers, artists and the creative industries will respond t the wider collections of the Science Museum Group to explore visual media, technology and science.

Large Hadron Collider

8 November 2013 — 30 April 2014

The exhibition will explore one of the greatest scientific and engineering endeavours of our time at CERN in Geneva.

In the Large Hadron Collider (a giant particle collider) scientists and engineers work at the extremes of temperature, vacuum and energy to recreate conditions not seen since just after the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago.

The museum will be collaborating with designers and theatrical experts to create an experience which immerses visitors in the greatest intellectual adventure on the planet. Details of the exhibition were announced in May 2012 by Prof Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Director General of CERN, at the Science Museum’s annual dinner, an event attended by leaders of science, industry, politics and the media. Guests included Prof Stephen Hawking, David Willetts and Janet Street-Porter.

Pain Less: the future of relief

8 November 2012 — 8 November 2013 *on now

Last year, nearly 6 billion painkillers were sold in the UK. Pain is a constant reality for some people, especially if you're one of the 1 in 5 who suffer from relentless chronic pain.

We treat pain with drugs that haven’t really changed for decades. Is there a better way to control pain?

Explore pain through the stories of extraordinary people who deal with it every day – from the patient who suffers with chronic pain in his missing limb, to the man who feels no pain at all.

Hidden Structures – 100 Years of X-ray Crystallography

7 March 2013 — 1 January 2014 *on now

This display celebrates the centenary of X-ray crystallography, a technique developed by father-and-son team William H. Bragg and W. Lawrence Bragg in 1913.

X-ray crystallography was central to molecular biology, the science of proteins, viruses and other bio-molecules that developed in the years after World War II. Hidden Structures explores the stories behind some of the most striking molecular models from this golden age of X-ray crystallography, including DNA, insulin and haemoglobin.

Opening in time for International Women's Day, Hidden Structures also discusses the complex role of women in molecular biology and displays key models by Kathleen Lonsdale and Dorothy Hodgkin.

Shackleton’s Man Goes South

24 April 2013 — 25 April 2014 *on now

Shackleton’s Man Goes South is the title of a new novel by author Tony White, premiering exclusively at the Science Museum, that explores how climate change could affect the world we live in. It is also the title of a display in the Atmosphere gallery that charts the literary and scientific inspiration behind the writing of the book, Shackleton’s Man Goes South, which is premiering exclusively at the Science Museum.

White was inspired by the chance discovery of a little-known science fiction story about ‘climate change’ published in the ‘South Polar Times’, the shipboard newspaper on Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated 1911 Antarctic expedition. The author, polar explorer and meteorologist George Clarke Simpson, went on to become a leading atmospheric scientist and director of the Met Office. In this display White shows how tales from the heroic age of exploration inspired a thought-provoking work of fiction that explores the political, social and cultural impacts of climate change now.

Visitors to the Atmosphere gallery will be able to download Shackleton’s Man Goes South as a free e-book as part of this innovative arts project and digital publishing initiative. The e-book will be available from 24 April 2013.
