The Rubbish Collection

Discover the beauty, value and volume of the ‘rubbish’ we produce in our upcoming, unique two-part exhibition, which traces the journey of waste generated by the Museum over 30 days, as part of the Climate Changing programme.

Artist Joshua Sofaer invites you to participate in collecting, sorting, photographing and documenting one month’s worth of rubbish produced by the Science Museum’s visitors, staff, contractors and exhibition projects, to help create a visual day-to-day archive of our rubbish. The exhibition will expose the materials, the volume and the intrigue surrounding what we think of as ‘rubbish’, before it continues its onward journey to be recycled.

Suitable for ages 12+
