Mysteries of pollen is an exhibition where we present to you the microscopic world of pollen grains. At each stand you can view a photograph captured using a scanning electron microscope, showing a pollen grain enlarged tens of thousands times. We have used this photo to produce a 3D model of the pollen grain, which you can touch and rotate. Each type of pollen is accompanied by a short story of the extraordinary efforts that are taken by some species of plants to reproduce. On several stands you are also able to smell the floral fragrances of the presented plants.

Mind Your Brain! is an exhibition where visitors take good care of their brains. The exhibition consists of games and exercises that challenge the brain, designed for groups of two to five people. The brain benefits from us using it, and the exhibition provides tips for a brain-friendly life and inspires visitors to be more active. On top of e.g dancing, playing music, making crafts, brisk exercise and relaxation, the exhibition is a shared experience, as cooperation and interaction with others are particularly important for the development of the human brain.

With our partners at the Museum of London, Wellcome Collection are seeking venues outside the UK to be part of an international tour of Skeletons: Our buried bones. We are looking for venues with their own skeleton collections or access to local skeleton collections to collaborate with us to create an exhibition which displays these individual alongside skeletons from London. Drawn in part from the Museum of London’s astonishing collection of over 20,000 skeletons spanning 16 centuries, this touring exhibition examines the bones of some of those who lived, died and were buried in London and elsewhere. Through careful scientific analysis, each skeleton reveals its own story, allowing fascinating insights into the times in which they lived and the health hazards of the day – from syphilis to rickets, broken bones to tooth decay.

All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman's Curious Life.
The brilliant and multi-faceted life of Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman is showcased in a brand new exhibition, curated and produced by ArtScience Museum in collaboration with the Nobel Museum. Feynman was one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, known for his work in quantum mechanics and for many technological advances that now support our everyday lives. His work changed the way physicists think forever and he received the Nobel Prize in 1965. The exhibition uses both art and science, as well as striking contemporary design, to convey the importance and relevance of Feynman’s work for today’s audiences. Central to the exhibition are installations, sculptures and immersive environments created by contemporary artists, which take visitors deeper into Feynman's science through art.

Liquid Loom explores the interactive potential of liquid crystals as light modulating material; their shape, their color, their manner of direct response to electrostatic surroundings, and the way in which subtle design differences of each LCD display results in a slightly different response and visual effect. At its heart are repurposed ATM screens, which are stripped of all electronic controls and revealed as bare liquid filled glass. Through re-purposing what is normally considered e-waste, we are able to interact with liquid crystal media as a polariscope which are visually responsive to subtle electrostatic charges generated through friction and motion.
