Don't miss your chance to enter a world of wonder in the 1851der Tent, where the past meets the future in a spectacle of knowledge and imagination!

From long-life ropes made from living materials to an opportunity to explore your own human nervous system. Discover the adventures of dark matter and find out about life in the big white of Antarctica - you can even become a penguin for the day!

This event is presented by The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. The Royal Commission celebrates the ongoing legacy of the original exhibition - their cohort of innovators whose research is supported through the Commissions' fellowships. Visit their website for more information about the 1851der tent.
