Media Space

Media Space is a 642-square-metre (6,910 sq ft) exhibition space at the Science Museum, London, developed in association with the National Science and Media Museum.

Opened in September 2013,[1][2] the space comprises an extensive gallery surrounded by cultural spaces for display and participation, for mixing across the arts, sciences and creative industries. It also intended to be a showcase for the National Media Museum collections in photography, as well as cinematography and broadcast technology, and an arena where audiences will engage with how new technologies have impacted on today’s creative industries. It is intended for adult audiences.

In 2016, some outlets reported that Media Space was scheduled to close later that year.[3][4] However, the Voyages exhibition, by renowned photographers Anderson & Low, ran in the space from March–June 2017.[5][6][7][8]
