About Relaxed Access Evening: Injecting Hope

Join us for a relaxed after-hours visit to Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine.

During this session, visitor numbers will be reduced, and sounds will be lowered to create a more relaxed experience.

This session is primarily for, but not limited to, neurodivergent visitors and those with sensory or additional support needs who would prefer a more relaxed experience, plus their families, friends and carers. 

'Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine' is presented by the Science Museum Group.
