The London exhibition
Discover how the science of space can help us here on earth.
Mimi is a girl who has lots of questions about the universe. She is always asking Why? How? Who? Where? When? Mimi wants to know all about how the world around her works and so when her essay ‘Everything I’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Space’ wins her a trip to mission control, she couldn’t be happier! Experience this new story come to life at the IOP’s new family-friendly exhibition: Mimi’s Space Adventure!
Get hands-on with fun physics experiments for all the family, be creative with arts and crafts activities, and meet our wonderful physicists to find out what it takes to travel through space and what it means for life back on terra firma.
