Free interactive exhibition with more than 40 exhibits from Swansea University researchers, turning their research into fun displays for visitors of all ages.
IMAGING is the latest exhibition at Oriel Science, and it's a big one: more than 40 interactive exhibits that look at how Swansea University researchers visualise, capture and interpret the world around us. It's a family-friendly show, so it works as well with kids as it does on your own.
There's a fair bit to get your teeth into. You can imagine the size of a megalodon shark, build a model heart pump, interact with an artefact from the historic warship the Mary Rose, and catch a glimpse of distant stars and galaxies. It's the kind of thing that lets you spend as little or as much time as you like, and since it's all interactive, you're doing rather than just looking.
Professor Chris Allton, director of Oriel Science, describes it as research packaged into fun, interactive exhibits to inspire the younger generation. It follows the centre's previous pop-up venue and its last two exhibitions at Castle Street, Movement and Motion and Swansea University's Response to Covid-19. Oriel Science itself is a grant- and donation-funded charity that's welcomed 25,000 visitors since 2016, delivered workshops to 2,500 school students and engaged 130,000 people through community events.
