Opportunity overview

The Science Museum Group presents the universe of Horrible Science as a brand-new exhibition. Visitors will explore the Solar System through a series of experience-led spaces packed with opportunities to get hands-on, curious and playful, in an environment that feels delightful, welcoming and distinctly aligned with the Horrible Science brand. The exhibition will be curated by SMG, working closely with Lion TV, the BBC and Scholastic. It is scheduled to open at the Science and Industry Museum (SIM), Manchester in February 2026 and will then tour to the Science Museum (ScM), London in March 2027. We are seeking an interactive exhibit maker to create up to seven interactive exhibits for the Horrible Science exhibition that will help deliver an imaginative, playful and dynamic setting for adults, families and school groups. Details are in the attached ITQ pack.
