About The Moon - Discover Our Nearest Neighbour

Listed Under Exhibitions Events / Family and Kids Events / Summer Holiday Events

Join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the very last person to walk on the moon.

See real Moon rock, discover the science and mythology behind our nearest neighbour; re-live historic moments in lunar discovery and exploration; and discover 5,000 years of mankind’s fascination with our celestial neighbour, from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

Did you know a Russian robot landed on the Moon before the American astronauts?
Have you ever wondered why a cow jumped over the Moon in nursery rhyme?
Does moonlight really make you go mad?

Discover all this and more in this fascinating exhibition suitable for all ages.

A national touring exhibition by Bespoke Scientific.

Join us for a summer of family fun, learning about the moon and outer space. Look out for our summer programme of space themed events, crafts, and science activities.

School groups welcome.
