Cancer Revolution: Science, innovation and hope

Family friendly

Head to the Science and Industry Museum for a world-first, free exhibition exploring the revolution in science that is transforming cancer care.

Created by the Science Museum Group with support from expert partner Cancer Research UK, the exhibition features film, photographs and never-seen-before objects.

From busting myths about the causes of cancer and revealing how the disease isn’t unique to humans, to exploring how the latest cancer science, early detection technologies and immunotherapies are advancing cancer care today, Cancer Revolution: Science, innovation and hope shows how far we have come in prevention, detection and treatment, and highlights the important challenges that are still to be solved.

Find out how cancer has been treated over the centuries, from high-risk surgeries to the discovery of the first chemotherapy drugs. Discover the stories of people living with, treating, and affected by cancer today, and how researchers, clinicians, policymakers and patients are fuelling progress in a powerful expression of shared hope.
