Curiosity is where it begins…
A work of art, a scientific breakthrough, your daughter’s
amazing Lego creation - they all start with curiosity. Being
curious is a fundamental part of being human. For the
educational charity previously known as At-Bristol, the
importance of nurturing this impulse has led to a bold new
direction and a new name. We The Curious opened its doors on
the 14 September with a new open plan foyer, a new feature
exhibit celebrating the city of Bristol, and a new ambition
to empower people of all ages and backgrounds by firing
their curiosity about the world around us. The new name
and this initial refurbishment is just the beginning. Over the next few years, the ground
floor experience will be completely redesigned around questions -10,000 of them in
fact- gathered from people across the city of Bristol and beyond. So, get thinking, ask the
kids: what’s your burning question? What is it that has always puzzled you? It can be as off
the wall or straight forward serious as you like. Who knows, you might see your question
featuring when the exhibition is complete in 2020. In the meantime, there’s plenty to see
and do at We The Curious this Autumn –watch galaxies collide in the Planetarium, explore
our amazing brains in this season’s live show, and create your dream ball run in the second
floor workshop, complete with scaffolding and plenty of drain pipes - open during halfterm
week (Mon – Fri) www.wethecurious.org Email: curious@wethecurious.org or use
#wethecurious to contribute your burning questions.
