Experiment

What will you build, sense and discover? Play and explore science in action in Experiment, our free interactive gallery designed for the whole family to enjoy together.

Test your senses and flex your superpowers. See through walls, find out how you can shake hands with yourself and discover whether you're strong enough to lift a car with one hand.  

Build sturdy bridges and tall towers, make music with your body, play songs on musical pipes and get creative with glow-in-the-dark art. 

Experience Heat Vision with our thermal camera, play with magnetic art, tell stories with our shadow wall and more.
