"Through our ambitious new Ages of Invention: The Serum Institute Gallery we will create the most significant display of objects from the history of science anywhere in the world. Visitors will be able to journey through 250 years of innovation and explore the scientific ideas shaping our lives today. Thanks to Mr Poonawalla's generous support, the architectural expertise of Lawson Ward Studio and the remarkable stories of scientific achievements featured in the new gallery, we will ignite the curiosity of the future scientists and innovators needed to meet the challenges facing the world."
"The donation has come from the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, India's Serum Institute, led by CEO Adar Poonawalla, and will go towards refurbishing the Making the Modern World gallery, which is set to re-open in 2028 as Ages of Invention: The Serum Institute Gallery."
"Due to open in 2028, Ages of Invention: The Serum Institute Gallery will feature the most significant display of objects from the history of science, technology and engineering anywhere in the world. From the rise of the industrialised world to the emergence of new scientific fields, this dramatic and engaging gallery will invite visitors to explore 250 years of innovation to discover the objects, stories and people behind the scientific ideas that changed our lives."
