The Rubbish Collection

Discover the beauty, value and volume of ‘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 our 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. Through beautiful displays of waste materials at various stages of processing, Phase Two of the exhibition highlights that the things we throw away do not simply disappear - here they will instead be transformed to showcase the value and beauty that can be found in waste we produce. What does one month of rubbish from one institution look like? Be part of this compelling exhibition that invites you appreciate the impact and the fate of what we throw away.
