The Science Museum’s latest addition is an Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery, which aims to explore the past, present, and future of energy and its role in limiting climate change. The centerpiece of the gallery is a moving sculpture called Only Breath, which is 5m wide when unfolded. In addition, part of the Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA), a nuclear fusion experiment from the late 1950s, is on display for the first time.
The gallery is divided into three zones: Future Planet, which showcases computer-based models predicting future climate patterns; Future Energy, which explores current energy supply and potential future innovations; and Our Future, which highlights creative ideas from children on meeting future energy needs. Visitors can also learn about Hydrogen, Wind, and Tidal Energy through exhibits.
Ian Blatchford, director of the Science Museum Group, stated that the gallery aims to spark curiosity and important conversations about sustainable energy solutions. He emphasized the urgent need for more sustainable energy generation and use. The gallery features contributions from artists and many others involved in acquiring and transporting objects for display.
The gallery offers an inspiring experience for visitors, encouraging them to think about the need for sustainable energy solutions.
