Blast off into the solar system and embark on a cosmic adventure guided by familiar characters from the brand-new BBC Horrible Science TV series.

Walk in the shoes of astronauts and discover far-off worlds, dance on an alien disco planet and prepare to journey through the depths of space to uncover the secrets of our universe.

Get ready for surprising science, interactive experiments and playful challenges, but beware of Dr Big Brain, the galaxy's greatest evil genius, who will be on the hunt for help with his diabolical plans to conquer the Solar System. Will you use your new science skills to make sense of the solar system, or cause cosmic chaos by joining forces with a supervillain?

The Science and Industry Museum is a place full of amazing objects and world-changing ideas, from the Industrial Revolution to today and beyond. Entry to the museum is free, but charges apply to visit our special exhibition, Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos (open until 3 Jan 2027).

Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos is the first time the hit BBC TV show Horrible Science has been brought to life as a major exhibition.

The exhibition has been created by the museum in collaboration with producers of the brand-new Horrible Science TV show, BBC Children's and Education, and Lion Television, an All3Media company, together with Scholastic, publishers of the much-loved Horrible Science book series by Nick Arnold and illustrated by Tony De Saulles.
