After Dark: Science on Show is a free hands-on science evening suitable for all the family.
Our theme this year is LOVE YOUR PLANET so we’ll have lots of activities connected to sustainability as well as some favourites like the return of the robots.
You’ll be able to meet scientists and engineers from Amgueddfa Cymru and Cardiff University and explore loads of fun, interactive activities all while being in the museum after dark!
