To celebrate British Science Week (5-14 March 2021), we have developed a workshop for Key Stage 2 students to inspire the future generation of engineers and to start thinking about ways to create a sustainable future. In this blog, teachers from Mayfield Primary School share their experience working with us to create the workshop.

Katherine McAlpine, Director of the Brunel Museum, gives us an overview of the unusual history of the Thames Tunnel, London's first underwater tunnel, from visitor attraction to main railway connection between north and south London.

Meet Ian and Jeremy, aka N1 & E1 of All on the Board, the formerly anonymous masked duo who brighten Londoner's journeys on the Underground with their inspirational messages written on station notice boards.

Our Director, Sam Mullins, looks back on the challenges and achievements of 2020, with a hopeful view for the future of the Museum in 2021.

We have received a £1.75 million lifeline as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help face the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. Find out what this means for the future of the Museum in this Director's Blog.
