The London Science Museum’s Head of Learning Operations, Kenny Webster, said: “The Science Museum Shop at Bluewater is a great opportunity to bring a little piece of the Science Museum in London to Kent. We hope our live science demonstrations will inspire visitors of all ages to get excited about science and share their experience with family and friends.”

Robert Goodman, Bluewater’s General Manager, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Science Museum back to Bluewater for the second time in two years. The pop-up was a huge success in 2014 and we’ve no doubt this year’s opening will bring even more excitement to shoppers. At Bluewater, we’re passionate about giving our guests a memorable experience and recommend visitors drop in to the Science Museum for some science-filled entertainment!”
