That belongs in a museum!

For the 3.4 million people who step off the busy streets of London, UK into the Science Museum each year there is much to feast their eyes on. Established in 1909, today the museum houses around 20 exhibition spaces designed to educate and enthuse the public on topics ranging from space travel to climate change.

Behind the scenes is a busy team of 35 curators working on how best to display the over 300,000 objects in the museum’s care. These curators are also responsible for the acquisition of new objects and research into the history of those already in their collection. Sophie Waring joined the museum as its chemistry curator in February 2017.
