Event spaces
We are proud to have wonderful and priceless objects within the museum which unfortunately means you cannot get inside of them. We have many interactive galleries including Wonderlab if you would like an interactive space.
Our dedicated private event space Illuminate is the perfect blank canvas for all event types. During certain periods of the year, we can also offer other blank canvas event spaces which are perfect for product launches, exhibitions, fashion shows and much more.
