Programme submissions

Do you have a great idea for a science-themed exhibition? Find information on the type of proposals we are currently seeking and how to submit your ideas.

Our mission is to inspire futures. One of the ways we do this is through a diverse programme of temporary exhibitions, installations and immersive experiences. The Science Museum explores the science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine that shape our lives.


To ensure that each exhibition or display is of the highest quality, mutually beneficial, and fits with our strategic plans, we work to several criteria. Each proposal will be judged against the Science Museum Group’s Mission and Values, the Group Exhibition Strategy, as well as the Science Museum’s site-specific criteria.
