For a limited number of evenings this summer, we’re opening our doors from 6-10pm, so you can experience the work of artist Luke Jerram, as the sun slowly sets over the city.
Wander through the galleries and enjoy world-class art and natural history, before returning to experience Helios as the sun goes down.
Whether you’re heading out for post-work drinks, or enjoying an evening with friends and family, our café bar will be serving a range of drinks, so you can relax and soak up the atmosphere under the sun.
Tickets are free, but must be booked in advance as capacity is limited.
Free Entry

Admission is free, however a charge may apply for some exhibitions, events and activities.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. For safety reasons, we reserve the right to conduct bag searches when entering the Museum.
