Science Gallery Dublin
About

Established in 2008 by Trinity College Dublin, Science Gallery Dublin was a pioneering space where science and art collided to spark curiosity and debate. Aimed primarily at 15–25-year-olds, the gallery hosted over 40 exhibitions exploring topics from human bias and plastic pollution to mental health and artificial intelligence. With no permanent collection, each season offered fresh perspectives through interactive installations, workshops, and performances co-created by artists, scientists, and designers. Exhibitions like BIAS: Built This Way transformed the gallery into immersive environments, challenging visitors to reflect on digital equity and machine learning. Over its decade of innovation, Science Gallery Dublin welcomed more than 2.5 million visitors and inspired a global network of sister galleries. Though currently closed, its legacy endures as a model for interdisciplinary engagement, blending research, creativity, and public dialogue in a way that redefined the museum experience for a new generation.
