Notable elements
The exhibition was broken up into a series of relatively large rooms. While most were named, a few were unnamed and have therefore been named conjecturally.
Before the exhibition

At the end of the hallway, there was a TARDIS-themed door leading into the next area.
Console room
At the centre of the next area was the reconstruction of the original TARDIS control console used for the An Adventure in Space and Time docudrama, marked by an accompanying information panel as "The TARDIS console Mk 1". Exhibits, graphics and information panels were located around the walls of this room. Turning left from the TARDIS door entrance and following the console room round clockwise to the exit, these were:

Left wall
- An information panel on the TARDIS's Dimensional transcendentalism.
- A video showcasing various companions reactions to this effect/
- An information panel on the science behind time travel.
- Models of a hypercube and of a wormhole connecting 2 regions of spacetime.
