The National Railway Museum in Yorkshire, UK, has opened its largest new gallery in more than a decade, with the launch of the £6m ‘Wonderlab: The Bramall Gallery’.

Housed inside the museum’s former locomotive workshop, the exhibition offers 18 interactive exhibits with an engineering, science and railway theme, installed around several original workshop features.

The new addition is the result of a five-year development in partnership with the rial industry, and has been designed by architects De Matos Ryan.

Judith McNicol, director of the National Railway Museum, said: “We want to ensure that children have great fun while developing a spark of interest in engineering that will contribute towards tackling the UK’s shortage in STEM skills.”
