The Brunel Museum has been shortlisted for Best Event in the Cultural Enterprise Awards 2025. The Brunel Museum’s iconic Thames Tunnel Shaft hosted British Youth Opera’s production of The Rape of Lucretia, creating a truly unique cultural event. The atmospheric, subterranean space transformed the production into a gripping, immersive experience, making it one of the hottest opera tickets of the summer.
