We The Curious reveal opening date for groundbreaking new ground floor exhibition
Project What If aims to leave people with questions rather than answers.
The new exhibition at We The Curious sees the ground floor space of the science centre completely transformed, inspired by the charity’s vision of “a future where everyone is included, curious and inspired by science to build a better world together”.
Due to open in November 2020, the second lockdown postponed things but now the We The Curious team are finally ready to open their doors.
is needed now More than ever
On Saturday, visitors will finally be able to experience the first major science centre exhibition in the UK inspired entirely by the curiosity of a city’s residents.
Project What If features 68 new exhibits and 25 art pieces, with the core of the exhibition built around seven questions, selected from the thousands of questions submitted by visitors and Bristol residents over the past three years.

We The Curious CEO Donna Speed said: “We’re so excited to be reopening finally, after 14 months of closure and a false start in November – and what a way to reopen, with our spectacular experience Project What If.
“This is the result of three years’ work, focused around our vision to create a future where everyone is included, curious and inspired by science to build a better world together.
“Our aim is to place people at the heart of science and present the real world of science – a world that is creative, collaborative, uncertain and inspiring, and arguably, has never been more important than right now.
“We can’t wait for our venue to kick back into life, and to be able to welcome our visitors back again.
“Lockdown lasted for so much longer than we anticipated, so we really do need the support of our Bristol community and beyond when we reopen, and we can’t wait to share Project What If with you all.”
