Unboxing the Universe
National Maritime Museum
Blast off on a multi-sensory journey through space in this exciting live science theatre show at the National Maritime Museum, perfect for ages 7 and up.
Join the astronomers from the Royal Observatory for an unforgettable, interactive science theatre show at the National Maritime Museum. Unboxing the Universe invites curious minds to explore the mysteries of space through a multi-sensory experience that combines live demonstrations, unique scents, and hands-on participation. Designed specifically for audiences aged 7 and older, this show makes complex astronomical questions accessible and fun. Discover what a black hole is, learn how to launch a rocket, find out what our Solar System smells like, and test if it is possible to beat the speed of light. Guests will also have the opportunity to ask our experts their own burning questions about the cosmos. Whether you are a budding astronomer or simply fascinated by the night sky, this engaging performance offers a brilliant way to explore the universe together. Please note that children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and while younger siblings are welcome, the content is tailored for the 7+ age range. The show takes place in the Museum's Lecture Theatre.
