Inspired is a project developed by the Science Museum in London and Swindon.
The Science Museum is a member of the National Museum of Science & Industry (NMSI), which also includes the National Media Museum (NMeM) in Bradford, the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York and it’s sister museum Locomotion: NRM at Shildon, in County Durham.
The NMSI group of museums presents and cares for some of the greatest collections of their kind in the world. The six million artefacts under its stewardship cover the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine, transport, visual media and related arts.
They date largely from the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions through to the present day. They range from Crick and Watson’s original DNA model to Stephenson’s Rocket, from the Flying Scotsman to the Henry Wellcome Collection of the History of Medicine, from William Herschel’s seven-foot telescope to the Royal Photographic Society Collection, from John Logie Baird’s original television apparatus to the Apollo 10 space capsule.
Each year NMSI museums attract over four million visitors including one and a half million children. NMSI is a Non Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department of Culture Media and Sport.
Objects from the collections of each member of the NMSI group will be stored at Inspired.
