New exhibition set to blast off

A new interactive installation at Perth Museum and Art Gallery this spring aims to have visitors floating above the Earth, walking on the moon and playing in the stars.

‘Blast Off!’opens on Saturday, March 5, and invites young families to enjoy learning about the wonders of the solar system as they step out of the museum and into‘space’.

Among the gallery’s highlights is a specially-commissioned cosmic playscape, surrounded by murals of planets, where children and adults are invited to build, dress up, read and spacewalk together through the galaxy.

Perthshire design studio Fun Makes Good has collaborated with Culture Perth and Kinross on the project.

To accompany Blast Off!‘Space: Fact and Fiction’will invite visitors to explore themes such as living in space, technology, and alien life.
