About Pop-up Planetarium Shows

Looking for something different this half term? Join us at Newport Museum & Art Gallery for a free 360° pop-up planetarium show. Travel back in time and fly with dinosaurs, explore climate driven phenomena occurring on planet Earth, hunt for life in our solar system and beyond or immerse yourself in an astronomer guided tour of the night sky.

Spaces are limited to 10 people per show and will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis on the day. Four shows are offered in alternation on 18 and 19 February. Please see show titles and times below.

Shows are 25-30 minutes long and suitable for a general family audience. Please be advised that visitors will be seated on the floor underneath the planetarium dome during this experience.
