Museum of Science and Industry

What's On

With five buildings to explore and a regular programme of events to enjoy, there is something for everyone here at MOSI. Some events take place every day, although some only happen at weekends and during school holidays. Click on the calendar below or download our latest What's On? guide to see what events and activities are on soon.

Please note that Xperiment is now closed due to the redevelopment of Main Building. It is scheduled to reopen later in the year. The whole Museum will also be closed on Tuesday 23 March as a result of essential work needed as part of the redevelopment.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused.  For full details of this exciting project, click here.

Although every effort has been made to ensure that details on the website are up-to-date, the Museum reserves the right to alter the events programme at any time.
