A new exhibition Breakthrough: Crossrail’s tunnelling story, will give visitors an experience of London's hidden subterranean landscape when it opened to the public on 1 February at London Transport Museum, Covent Garden.
The exhibition brings to life the sheer scale of the work being done to deliver Crossrail. Visitors will experience the tunnel environment, learn about the way Crossrail is burrowing under London, play interactive tunnelling games and hear the first-hand experiences of those who work underground.
The exhibition features a large, five metres high, walk-through installation of a cross-section of a Crossrail tunnel to allow visitors to experience what it might be like to stand in a tunnel which is under construction deep underground. The tunnel will contain a computer simulation of a giant boring machine in action, just like the one being used to dig Crossrail’s tunnels.
