Modern Living

Making the Modern World brings you powerful stories about science and invention from the eighteenth century to today. It explains the development and the global spread of modern industrial society and its effects on all our lives. The site expands upon the permanent landmark gallery at the Science Museum, using 82 rich media scenes, 25 stories, 116 icons of invention, 19 learning modules, 8 guided tours, and 402 objects of everyday life and dynamic multimedia techniques to go far beyond what a static exhibition can do.
