Lates at Sheffield Museums are after-hours special events for adults, bringing together interactive experiences, lightening talks and hands-on workshops, plus a bar and cake. Join them for the next Late in the series, on the Art of Science. An evening of artistic activities and scientific endeavours at the Millennium Gallery, dedicated to the prettiest pathogens, the brightest bacteria, the finest fossils, and the most magnificent minerals.
Activities for the evening include:
- Hear about the invisible predators of the microbial world and take a close-up view of some of the world’s most beautiful but lethal bacteria in the series of lightening talks.
- Reinvent life drawing by using different coloured microorganisms to ‘paint’ onto agar.
- Get creative in drop-in activities: use sculpture to recreate microbial communities, learn to knit your own synthetic pathogen, give creative writing a go, and use pastels to recreate what you see down the microscope.
- Walk through the blackout chamber and admire the glow of luminescent bacteria.
- Get hands on with natural history collection objects and take a mini tour of the Ruskin Gallery.
- Explore the pop-up exhibition and see the aesthetic side of the latest science research.
This event is a collaboration between Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Museums Trust. It has been made possible thanks to funding from the Society for Applied Microbiology.
For ages 16+.
