Science comes alive tonight
Cobb and Co hosting special event
“CURIOUSER and curiouser!”
That famous line from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland was the inspiration for a National Science Week event set to take over the Cobb and Co museum tonight.
Curiouser and Curiouser isa one night only special event to celebrate the museum’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland exhibition, which organisers said would spark the minds of young and old with a science show, hands-on science activities and live music set in the surrounds of the museum.
Queensland Museum Acting CEO Dr Jim Thompson said the event would give Toowoomba audiences the chance to learn more about the latest science innovations shaping the world.
“Guests will be able to explore the museum and see an array of science innovations inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,” Dr Thompson said.
“The event offers something for everyone with a variety of activities including holograms, light/liquid nitrogen demonstrations, drones, robotics, 3D printing and a science show.
“We are proud to be able to celebrate National Science Week across all of the campuses within the Queensland Museum network and focus on sharing some of our many treasures and discoveries.”
The event will begin at 5pm and run until 8pm.
Tickets cost $15 per adult and $10 per child. Children aged five and under are admitted for free.
