Science Night
Science Night is a special overnight event for 7-13 year olds featuring exciting hands-on workshops, science shows, a sleepover at the Science Museum among the amazing exhibits, followed by a tasty breakfast and a breathtaking film in our IMAX Cinema.
Please be aware that Science Night can cater for up to 460 campers so there will be many other groups enjoying the event.
We also run one Science Night a year exclusively for Brownie groups. The age range for these special nights is 7-11 years.
Visit the Science Museum's galleries to support Medicine Through Time: In Glimpses of Medical History find out how it felt to be a doctor or patient at different times in history. In The Science and Art of Medicine see more than 5000 objects from around the world illustrating the history of medicine in western and non-western cultures, or visit Health Matters, a provocative exhibition about developments in twentieth century medicine.
You could arrange a meeting with one of our Drama characters . Meet Mary Seacole, pioneering nurse in the Crimean War; or question Marie Curie about her struggle to become one of the great names in science. You could even meet the world's first Pregnant Man - have your say: fantastic achievement or crime against nature?
Visit Brought to Life online to see 4,000 objects from the history of medicine, 16 themes of authored content on topics such as disease and epidemics, practising medicine and with interactives featuring the Black Death, how an iron lung works and diagnosing 17th century patients.
