Blast off on a cosmic adventure with Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos, launching at the Science and Industry Museum in February 2026.

This is the first time the hit Horrible Science TV show has been brought to life as a major exhibition, and it’s packed with silly, surprising and totally brilliant space adventures.

Explore strange new planets, walk like an astronaut, dance on an alien disco world and try fun hands-on experiments. But do watch out for Dr Big Brain, the galaxy’s biggest supervillain who is looking for helpers. The choice is yours…will you use your science skills to save the solar system? Or will you join the chaos?

Be one of the first to experience this space adventure when it lands at the Science and Industry Museum in February. Book your tickets now.
