Karen Livingstone, Director of Masterplan at the Science Museum, said, "Wilkinson Eyre's designs conveyed a real sensitivity for the Museum’s unrivalled medical collections and the gallery space. Their approach will create an elegant and contemporary space to display beautiful objects and tell compelling human stories."
The Medical Galleries are just one part of a transformation that will see almost a third of the museum's space transformed, with winners of the competitions for a new Mathematics and Interactive galleries still to be announced, in late August and early September respectively.
The completion of all three new galleries is scheduled for 2018.
