Take an unforgettable trip discovering our connection to the universe at the National Science and Media Museum, and understand the web of relationships that bond us all together – from the hairs on your head to the stars in the sky.

Marshmallow Laser Feast, the experiential artist collective who work at the cutting edge of art, science and technology, have created an immersive experience for Bradford 2025.

This digital interactive experience blends art, science and creative technologies to make the invisible visible. Explore the web of relationships that bond us to the universe—from the stars in the sky to every living cell,  through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. It is a playful exploration of the invisible rhythms that underpin your life on Earth, offering a fresh perspective on the world you thought you knew.

Group visits

All groups – including formal education, youth and community groups – can include YOU:MATTER as part of their visit. The playful and immersive experience will inspire your group to wonder about their place in the cosmos.

Key stage suitability: KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4.
