'Science through the keyhole: revealing scientific practices through workspaces' seeks to improve our collective understanding of scientific practice by paying close attention to the diverse spaces in which it occurred and the wide range of labours on which it depended. The network will bring together academics and museum professionals to investigate a series of questions to do with the role of space in facilitating and conditioning science through its workspaces and how those workspaces can most effectively be presented to public audiences in the context of a museum gallery. Central to the network is the question of how a spatial understanding of scientific practice can more fully reveal the nature of scientific truth, its claims to authority, and the role of scientific knowledge in public life.Through a series of interdisciplinary workshops, the network will bring museum professionals, academics (including historians of science, historical geographers and scientists), and experts in historical recreation (including digital) into dialogue in order to explore the relationship between science and its workspaces, with a view to encouraging new research collaborations and laying the foundation for the development of a new public gallery at the Science Museum, 'Spaces of Science'. Each workshop will be guided by a one of three fundamental research questions (see "Objectives") and each will include a visit to a reconstructed scientific workspace (see "Case for Support").The temporal focus of the network falls on the period since 1876, when the world's first international exposition of scientific instruments was held at the South Kensington Museum, the precursor to the Science Museum. The exposition-combining new and historical instruments-marked an important moment in popular and professional understandings of scientific workspaces and therefore serves as a central point of comparison when considering how scientific workspaces and practices have changed and evolved since then in response to the competing demands of government policy, and academic and commercial scientific research. Visited by more than a quarter of a million people, the 1876 exhibition was also a significant juncture in the popular history of science and, in laying the foundation for a new public-facing museum gallery, the network will place public understandings of science at the core of its activities.

“通过钥匙孔科学：通过工作空间揭示科学实践”旨在通过密切关注发生的不同空间以及依赖它的各种劳动，以提高我们对科学实践的集体理解。该网络将汇集学者和博物馆专业人员，调查与空间在通过其工作空间促进和调理科学方面的作用有关的问题，以及如何在博物馆画廊的背景下最有效地向公众介绍这些工作空间。 Central to the network is the question of how a spatial understanding of scientific practice can more fully reveal the nature of scientific truth, its claims to authority, and the role of scientific knowledge in public life.Through a series of interdisciplinary workshops, the network will bring museum professionals, academics (including historians of science, historical geographers and scientists), and experts in historical recreation (including digital) into dialogue in order to explore the relationship between science and its workspaces,为了鼓励新的研究合作，并为在科学博物馆“科学空间”的新公共画廊开发奠定基础。 Each workshop will be guided by a one of three fundamental research questions (see "Objectives") and each will include a visit to a reconstructed scientific workspace (see "Case for Support").The temporal focus of the network falls on the period since 1876, when the world's first international exposition of scientific instruments was held at the South Kensington Museum, the precursor to the Science Museum.新的和历史工具的论述构成了对科学工作空间的流行和专业理解的重要时刻，因此在考虑科学工作空间和实践是如何改变和演变为政府政策，学术和商业科学研究的竞争要求时，是比较的中心比较点。 1876年的展览曾在一百万人口中访问过，也是流行的科学史上的重要关键，在为新的面向新的公共博物馆画廊奠定基础时，该网络将把公众对科学的理解置于其活动的核心。
