What's on

Join us for an adults-only after-hours evening inspired by Amazônia, Sebastião Salgado's breathtaking photography exhibition.

Sebastião Salgado, winner of the 2021 Praemium Imperiale award for painting, presents Amazônia, a breath-taking photography exhibition that celebrates the indigenous peoples and varied landscapes of the Brazilian rainforest.

Prepare to get hands-on, with your ears and hearts open, with our new major exhibition exploring the science of music's mysterious hold over us and how it drives us to create, perform, feel and share.

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.
