About us
The Science and Industry Museum is of unique historic importance. Our site includes the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station, and the world's first railway warehouse, at the heart of the world's first industrial city.

In 2030, this unique historic site will be 200 years old. We plan to mark and celebrate this special anniversary, by transforming our museum through a programme of major investment and capital developments and through the very best science programming.
