Party Beyond 2019
Scienceworks will stay open late for a night of disco, drinks and gravitational waves.
Overview
Scienceworks' new exhibition Museum of the Moon takes a close-up look at the moon. It features a seven-metre sculpture of the celestial body, complete with NASA imagery on its surface. While it's technically designed for teenagers, you'll still find it fun if you're into the cool stuff that science
Even more adult-friendly is the accompanying Party Beyond event that is happening on Saturday, April 27. With Scienceworks open late and the event only open to those over the age of 18, 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 about the moon — performances by singer and activist Mama Alto, afro-futurist Cumbia Cosmonauts, electro-pop artist Geryon and keyboardist Waterfall Person will be featured throughout the six exhibition spaces.
Take a look at the unseen (like gravitational waves) in the Beyond Perception installation while Rebel Yell performs her industrial techno tunes — or party inside the Planetarium with multi-instrumental musician Synthotronica. Plus, DJ Biscotti will be spinning everything from 70s French boogie to Nigerian disco at the Admissions counter.
