This exhibition invites you on an immersive journey to discover the impact of pioneering women who have made groundbreaking contributions to physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and beyond.

A collaborative endeavour, this exhibition draws upon the collections and expertise of leading scientific museums worldwide, bringing to life the stories of extraordinary figures from diverse backgrounds.”
