The Science Museum has announced details of a major
redevelopment programme which will transform the museum. The ten
year plan will cost at least £75 million and includes modernisation
of the existing galleries, and new galleries on 'wide themes relating
to the future'.
The plan will transform what the museum's new director
Lindsay Sharp describes as already "the greatest science museum
in the world", aimed at increasing access and appeal. It was presented
to the museum's directors and trustees in the form of a "strategic
drawing" of the site and shows that only a handful of galleries
now familiar in the museum will remain in their present form.
