About

Science Museum Group awarded a contract to Skellon Superfold Ltd for the 3D and 2D design of the forthcoming exhibition project, Railway Firsts, at the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York and Locomotion (LCM).

The exhibition comprised 20-30 pop-up installations across both sites, recognizing 'firsts' in the rail industry, from the first electric locomotive (1842 Galvani) to the first tunnel constructed by swarm robotics (2022 Hypertunnel).

The project told the story of railway firsts, starting with the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, and highlighted stars of the Science Museum Group's collection before exploring the impact of railways on lives and landscapes through the 19th and 20th centuries, culminating in contemporary railway evolution.

The contract value was 21,575 AUD.
