Wallace and Gromit’s World of Invention

Overview

If you’re a lover of Wensleydale cheese, spontaneous elbow and hands wobbling and bits of plasticine, you might want to check out Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention this summer (along with any children you find handy). It might also be the perfect place to let loose a group of little people you’ve been assigned the task of entertaining over their holiday break. And this is one of those exhibits where they — and you — are allowed to touch almost everything and learn a thing or two about inventing, Wallace & Gromit style, without being thrown out of the museum (not guaranteed).

There will be interactive exhibits, film sets and props on display, and a creative station set up, where you can lean about all things copyright (for when you, or they, come up with the next best thing since sliced bread). The Karaoke Disco Shower, The Thinking Cap, Telly-scope II, the Blend-o-matic, Chocolate Teapot, and the Ice Hot Water Bottle will all make an appearance, alongside real inventions by Aussies — like ear implants and a mousetrap making machine.
