What Is It ?

‘Enjoy the failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.’

James Dyson - Invented the bagless vacuum cleaner

Inspired at the Science Museum Swindon is a brand new kind of museum opening in 2010.

The way we live now is shaped by science and technology. From climate change, to health advances to games consoles - the pace of change continues to accelerate. Now more than ever, our well-being depends on inspiring ordinary people to do extraordinary things . We need to unlock creativity, unleash invention and inspire innovation in those who hold the keys to a healthy, prosperous, sustainable future.

Inspired responds to this challenge, opening up a world of possibility by making science serious fun for everyone.

A visit to Inspired will allow people of all ages and backgrounds to navigate their own personal voyages of discovery into a treasure-house of over 200,000 of the greatest innovations of science and humanity.
