Voyage Inside the Brain Show

A hands-on guide to our amazing brains

A brief summary

Our newest show, ‘Voyage Inside the Brain’, is a fulldome celebration of the most complex structure in the universe. We transform our dome into a giant brain to introduce basic neuroscience, how our brains work, the amazing things they can do and how to keep our brains healthy. We explore how the brain can change over our lifetimes and allow our audiences to discuss and destigmatise dementia. It was supported by Alzheimer’s Research UK and developed with neuroscientists from Bristol University.

Our brain show is specifically designed for Upper KS2, KS3 and beyond.
More details of timing, capacity and curriculum links are below.
