Centre for Life

The Centre for Life is a vibrant and exciting place where science is explored and debated through hands-on displays, interactive games and demonstrations. The Centre encourages curiosity about science by uncovering new things about life and the world around us.

It features a permanent exhibition that tells the story of human life from our evolution through to the present day and how we are affected by contemporary science issues. Watch themed science shows in the Life Theatre, take a trip around the world and into outer space on a search for life in the spectacular Dome and enjoy a breathtaking ride on the 3D motion simulator. There's also a programme of touring exhibitions, special events including family activities and lectures throughout the year.
