Scienceworks is technically for kids and teenagers — but, in recent times, it's been opening up after hours for some adults-only fun. The next 18+ affair is Party Beyond — which, this time, will be curated with Due West Arts Festival. On Saturday, November 16, attendees can get a hit of adult science along with their glass of adult drinks (suck it, kids). Food and drinks will be available to purchase, and you won't be mulling over whatever you've just learnt — performances by local vocalist Rara Zulu, afrohouse duo Mai and the dance-inducing SHOUSE will be featured throughout the six exhibition spaces. Take a look at the unseen (like gravitational waves) in the Beyond Perception installation while Sui Zen performs her electronic tunes — or party inside the Planetarium with Melbourne musician BATTS, who blends folk rock with sound samples from NASA. Plus, Nuestro Planeta will be spinning everything fromfuture club to grime at the Admissions counter. Image: Museums Victoria/Benjamin Healley.
