The Glasgow Science Centre will finally reopen its doors this weekend and has a new £1.1m exhibition to introduce to visitors.
The new exhibition, Idea No 59, is dedicated to innovation and how it has and will change our world.
Quantum photonics, machine learning and genetic sequencing are just some of the technologies featured in Idea No 59, which features a combination of interactive exhibits, stories of innovation and hands-on workshops.
Here's an exclusive first look inside:
Pre-booking online is essential, visitor numbers are limited and extensive regular cleaning will take place in all areas, with extra attention given to high touch-points like handrails, lift buttons and escalators.
Masks are mandatory for over fives and social distancing must be adhered to.
A few of the exhibits and areas like the Planetarium and the Big Explorer soft play area will remain closed in accordance with social distancing guidance.
Stephen Breslin, chief executive of Glasgow Science Centre, said:
"We are so excited to welcome visitors of all ages back into the science centre.
"We are especially looking forward to people experiencing Idea No 59, which celebrates the innovative spirit in all of us and how that spirit can change the world.
"Scotland has always been a leader in innovation and there is so much happening around the country - just look at how adapted to lockdown.
"We’re bringing that excitement and creativity to our visitors, in a socially distanced and safe way, to inspire a new generation of creative thinkers and problem solvers.
"Our priority is to keep visitors safe and inspired, and we’re set to do both."
Glasgow Science Centre reopens to the public on Saturday 3 October and pre-booking is absolutely essential. Visit www.glasgowsciencecentre.org. to book tickets.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
