Think Ahead imagines how advances in science will change the way we live.
With more than 200 objects from the past, the present and the speculative future, this exhibition blends technology with hands-on experiences. It will inspire you to research, think creatively and share your ideas.
How will our cities look? How will new materials change our houses, cities and clothes? What will we eat? How will we use the space around Earth?
