Blood and Revolution Lates

Join us on Wednesday 27 February for a special Lates inspired by our popular exhibition The Last Tsar: Blood and Revolution.

The Science Museum will be taking you back 100 years to the reign of the Romanovs – the last Imperial family of Russia. Discover how ground-breaking DNA research undertaken by a team in the UK was able to identify their remains with the help of the British Royal family.

Find out more about the circumstances that led to their death and the Russian Revolution that changed the face of a nation. Explore the history of Haemophilia B in the Romanov bloodline, discover the origins of the Russian railways, listen to music inspired by this tumultuous period in history and get up close with the radical art produced during the uprisings.

Discover untold stories like that of Lady Sybil Grey, a British aristocrat who found herself in Russia during the revolution, learn about the Russian film bootleggers who defied Soviet censorship and make your own Fabergé egg.

All this and much more, including the chance to go on a virtual journey that is out of this world in Space Descent VR with Tim Peake, and get down at our famous intergalactic silent disco.
