Pictureville Cinema is currently closed. RAAC (Reinforced Aerated Autoclave Concrete) has been identified in the building as part of ongoing assessments. The most recent investigation on Friday 20 October has resulted in closure as a precautionary measure. Staff and visitor safety is of paramount importance to us, and we are now undertaking more detailed surveys.

We will issue an update in due course. If you have booked a ticket with us, you will be automatically refunded.

If you have any other queries about your booking, please get in touch with our Contact Centre on 033 0058 0058 or email info@sciencemuseumgroup.ac.uk

Our Cubby Broccoli and IMAX cinemas are temporarily closed as we transform the museum through our Sound and Vision project.
