Innovation underway! 🚧 The Speed exhibition explores motion and time across science and technology, and we feel there's no better time than the present to add momentum to Speed. Work is already in progress to retire certain exhibits, rehome some fan-favorites and add new experiences. The name is Speed, but we know that you can't rush perfection! We're patiently waiting to unveil this refresh in early 2027.
