A Grand Day Out

Celebrating the reopening of the National Science and Media Museum.

Past event

This event has passed.

We celebrated the reopening of the museum with a special day of animation-themed events.

A Grand Day Out was a special partnership with the National Science and Media Museum and animation studio Aardman. At this reopening event, Wallace & Gromit fans got hands-on with model-making workshops, enjoyed screenings of Wallace & Gromit and much more.

We also explored the newly renovated spaces at the National Science and Media Museum – including The Kodak Gallery telling the fascinating history of photography – and the immersive Wonderlab exhibit.
