 Please Note: From Monday 22nd
February until mid March, our under 5s area will be unavailable due to a reorganisation of our gallery.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes but believe the changes we are making will improve our
offer for all our visitors. Please note:
From Wednesday 31st March we will no longer be accepting the Charnwood Wild Card. Take
a fascinating journey around Snibston
where you can discover 500 years of technological
innovation and its impact on our everyday lives. From the earliest mining tools, proto-type jet engine
to the largest fashion display outside London, there is plenty to explore at this must see museum! As
the region's largest interactive museum, Snibston showcases Leicestershire's
science, technology and design collections, including major innovations in transport and engineering
history.
Located on the site of the former Snibston Colliery created by famous railway pioneer
George Stephenson, the surviving colliery buildings are rare and nationally important.
A satellite for the East Midlands Science Learning Centre, Snibston provides extensive
educational opportunities involving work with schools, universities and businesses. It also plays a
central role in the local community providing volunteering, skills development and training opportunities.
