Immerse yourself in the Solar System with hands-on workshops exploring light, an interactive science show and a digital gallery trail that will put your science skills to the test. There will also be time to experience museum highlights like Wonderlab: The Equinor Gallery after-hours. After an action-packed evening you and your group will spend the night dozing in our iconic galleries amongst much-loved objects.
