Join us on the 15th October 2022 to celebrate the BBC 100th Anniversary, you will be invited to explore decades of technology in our pop up galley.
The BBC has inspired generations to explore the limitless possibilities of tomorrow's Digital World through innovation and technology whilst staying connected.
Our new, temporary exhibition journeys through history to showcase technological advances, events and achievements of the BBC since the 1920s. Speakers from the BBC, including Rory Cellan-Jones, provide personal insight into how these individuals overcame the challenges of technological innovation.
Inspire future generations to see the opportunities possible within the challenge of what's to come.
Kids come FREE!
What do kids today imagine would be seen on Tomorrow's World if it was aired next week?
In true Blue Peter fashion, kids are invited to create an A4 poster showing what current technology should be preserved in a time capsule and opened in 100 years. Predict how your chosen piece of technology will adapt to change the way we broadcast information and connect with others in in creating Tomorrow's World today.
All submissions will be showcased at the museum as part of our exhibition and online.
