The Science Museum Group has begun an ambitious project to transform how we care for and share our collection with the world.
Over 300,000 objects held at Blythe House in London will be studied, photographed and moved into a new building at the National Collections Centre in Wiltshire. This new building will open regularly for public tours, school and research visits from 2024.
Due to this extensive programme of work, access to objects at Blythe House ended in April 2019. Access to objects at the National Collections Centre will not be possible until 2024.
The majority of objects in the Science Museum Group Collection will be digitised as part of this project, with hundreds of new images published online each month.
