Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination

This exhibition closed 20 August 2023.

Guided by an artificial intelligence of alien origin, visitors were placed at the heart of an exciting science fiction adventure.  The experience included boarding and exploring a unique spaceship, scouting an unknown planet, and investigating how scientists and science fiction creators have imagined and built new worlds to better understand our own.  

Throughout this dynamic and interactive voyage, visitors could uncover hidden gems including authentic objects from celebrated movies, TV, and books, as well as paintings, artworks, and photography, to gain a deeper understanding of how the global reach of scientific imagination inspires the future of tomorrow.

…a refreshingly optimistic antidote to apocalyptic dread.

…it’s that optimistic, transporting magic of sci-fi that makes this enlightening show so much fun.
