Exhibitions
Talk to scientists about the latest discoveries, follow the history of the Universe, find out about distant solar systems, stars and galaxies, and try out telescopes for yourself (weather and resources permitting)!
Regular exhibits:
The Your Universe exhibition takes place in the North and South cloisters of the main UCL Wilkins building. An example of our exhibits are highlighted below, but please note that the list is not definitive and may be subject to change.
