About
Experience an unforgettable spectacle of light and imagination, inspired by Questacon’s newest exhibition Illuminate: How Science Comes to Light, a Museum’s Victoria Touring Exhibition. Each vibrant display brings science to life in dazzling colour, transforming five exhibits from the gallery into stunning displays that blend light, shadows and colour.
Developed in collaboration with The Electric Canvas, the projections bring science together in a dynamic visual experience.
