About this space

The Smith Centre is an Event Space in the Science Museum characterised by a high, skylit roof and exposed steel trusses that give the room an open, architectural quality.

Design: The room has tall sash windows and a herringbone timber floor. The furniture is a mix of modern lounge sofas, mid-century chairs and freestanding dining tables arranged into distinct seating and dining zones, and framed artwork punctuates the walls.

Features: The Smith Centre has on-site Wi‑Fi, an in-room PA system and speakers, and allows playing of own music. The space uses movable tables and chairs to create seated dining, lounge clusters or open-plan standing layouts. The space is wheelchair accessible.
