Sail through our ship model collection in Voyages

Voyages | Media Space Gallery | Until 25 June

'One of the singular parallels in the history of science and art is that one can look at the world in a different way, and reimagine what it might be.' - Anderson & Low

Fine art photographers Anderson & Low bring their latest series of photographs to the Science Museum this spring.

Inspired by our much-loved collection of historic ship models which are now in Blythe House, our storage facility in London, Anderson & Low's photographs use only ambient light and were shot through the protective plastic sheeting which covers the models in storage.

Turner-esque in their painterly quality, this series reimagines the models as fantastical epic voyagers.
