Last night, we were treated to a glimpse of the construction underway for the London Science Museum’s new gallery about the history of communications -- starting with a new name, “Information Age ”.Google is among the principal funders for the gallery, which will be a permanent fixture in the museum and take up a whopping 2,500 square metres.Artist impressions c.2013, shown with kind permission of Science Museum, University Design Studio Top: Cable Network, exploring the impact of the electric telegraph in the 19th century Middle: The tuning coil from Rugby Radio, positioned at the centre of the gallery Bottom: A GPS satellite model, viewed from the gallery’s sweeping elevated walkway strongly endorses the role of museums in helping adults and children alike to appreciate the wonders of science and inspire the next generation of innovators. We’re excited by the plans revealed for “Information Age”, and can’t want to see them made real.Posted by Peter Barron, Director, External Relations
