The Science Museum was founded in 1857 as part of the South Kensington Museum, and gained independence in 1909. Today the Museum is world renowned for its historic collections, awe-inspiring galleries and inspirational exhibitions.
As the home of public engagement with science, the Museum combines an unparalleled collection of historical objects with cutting-edge technology and contemporary science news and debate, to help our visitors make sense of the science that shapes their lives and to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Over 2.7 million visitors enter the Museums doors every year. That includes 380,000 as part of booked school groups, more than to any comparable museum or science centre, and 1.3 million as part of a family visit. The Museum also reaches 60,000 young scientists each year via its educational outreach visits across the UK.

DESCRIPTION
This special Science Museum LATES will take a closer look at the issues surrounding climate change, in a fun and thought-provoking evening event.
A Cockroach Tour of the Science Museum will give visitors another take on the climate change story. Dress up as a cockroach and begin a journey through the museum, exploring the impact on the climate of scientific and technological developments from the perspective of one of the oldest, most resilient life forms on the planet.
Pull up a chair and join in the debate at the Talkaoke event – the mobile talk show that gets down with the latest topics. Grab a headset, select your tunes and dance until you drop at the Lates Silent Disco, underneath the canopy of rockets in the Exploring Space gallery. Increase your chances of meeting Mr or Miss Right at our speed dating event or have a laugh at the museum’s Punk Science comedy show – as the team present their take on climate change.
This is the official London Science Festival 2011 closing party.
