About Making the Modern World
400 Banquet
750 Standing / Reception
The Apollo 10 command module hovers above your guests while they sip champagne beside Crick and Watson's DNA model. Making the Modern World transforms evening events into journeys through 250 years of human ingenuity, where the first Apple computer shares space with steam engines that powered the Industrial Revolution. We've hosted everything from corporate galas to milestone birthday celebrations in this remarkable gallery. The space accommodates 750 standing guests comfortably, with room to move between exhibits and mingle naturally. For seated dinners, we configure the gallery for 400, ensuring everyone has clear sightlines to both the speakers and the suspended aircraft overhead. Our LED lighting system bathes the exhibits in customisable colours, controlled by our in-house technician who works with you to create the perfect atmosphere. Whether you want dramatic uplighting on the vintage locomotives or subtle illumination highlighting the space-age displays, we adjust throughout your event to match each moment. The high ceilings and open floor plan give us flexibility most venues can't match. Corporate presentations benefit from our professional AV equipment and reliable Wi-Fi, while social celebrations flow naturally around the exhibits. We've noticed how the artefacts themselves become conversation starters, guests gravitating toward displays that resonate with their interests, creating organic networking opportunities. Our location in South Kensington's museum quarter means your guests arrive easily via South Kensington or Gloucester Road tubes, both just minutes away. The gallery's after-hours exclusivity adds something special, your attendees experiencing these world-changing innovations without daytime crowds. From engagement parties beneath historic aircraft to product launches alongside groundbreaking inventions, Making the Modern World offers more than a venue. Book this space to give your guests an evening surrounded by the machines and ideas that shaped our world.
