News: Science Museum's £75m new look - 7/12/01

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.
