The Museum of Extraordinary Objects comprises a series of artworks resulting from an experimental collaboration between the Royal Society and artists studying on the MA Art and Science at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). The museum was developed to be used in the Visions of 2035 workshops to initiate conversations about the future of research culture.
Working to a brief to create pieces that would provoke imaginative thought, the artists designed speculative objects from a museum in 2035, looking back at watershed moments in the development of UK research culture. Each object is underpinned by a narrative around one theme; from team science to research integrity.
