Briefly

Science Gallery London to close down later this year
"The Science Gallery London, which sought to fuse art and science, will close later this year. Although the exhibitions were always free, they struggled frankly."
"Not quite arty enough to be an art gallery, but not enough science to appeal to that audience either. Some worked, but few."
"I'd rather a world of a hundred interesting failures than one where hardly anything happens for fear of being criticised for making a mistake."
"All current Science Gallery London programming will continue through to the end of the 2025-26 academic year, concluding with The Art of Care: Through the Eyes of Tomorrow's Doctors."
The Science Gallery London, which aimed to merge art and science, will close later this year. Despite free exhibitions, it faced challenges in attracting audiences, lacking a clear identity. Some exhibitions were successful, but many were not. The programming will continue until the end of the 2025-26 academic year, culminating in an exhibition titled The Art of Care: Through the Eyes of Tomorrow's Doctors, set to open on June 22, 2026. The gallery opened in late 2018, replacing a McDonald's near London Bridge station.
