The Moon

Sat 21st Oct 2023 to Sat 16th Dec 2023 - All Day

Discover our nearest neighbour!

Humans have gazed up at the Moon for millennia – now you can come a little closer to our nearest neighbour with this stunning exhibition.

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 rhymes? Does moonlight really make you go mad? Discover all this and more in this exhibition suitable for all ages.

Admission charge: Adults £4, children £2 (under 5’s free), Family £10 (2 adults and up to 3 children)

Tickets available from reception on the day.
