Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention

Wallace and Gromit
(c) Aardman Animations Ltd 2011.

Wallace and Gromit are moving into Scienceworks!

From May 2012, explore 62 West Wallaby Street, a life-size version of Wallace and Gromit’s home and discover how simple ideas transform into life-changing inventions.

Join the Oscar® winning duo as they guide you through their home, a world of cracking interactive contraptions, hands-on activities, games and more!

See some of their more colourful inventions, including the Telly-scope II, the Blend-o-matic, the Thinking Cap and the Karaoke Disco Shower, as well as Wallace’s half half-baked ideas – from the Chocolate Teapot to the Ice Hot Water Bottle.

Marvel at the original Wallace and Gromit film sets including Top Bun Bakery (as seen in A Matter of Loaf and Death), the Living Room, the Dining Room, Wallace’s Vegetable Plot and the Garden & Greenhouse (as seen in The Curse of the Were-rabbit), just to name a few.

Take on the role of an apprentice inventor and create everything from household tools to logos and find out how to protect your own big ideas.

Unleash your inner inventor and journey through a world of amazing inventions with Wallace and Gromit at Scienceworks!

How come the "Explore-a-saurus" exhibition is running longer than the "Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention" exhibition?

Looking forward to this exhibition as my kids & I love Wallace & Gromit.

Hi Tim - the Wallace & Gromit exhibition is an internationally touring exhibition, which has a touring schedule. The duration of the exhibition at Scienceworks is based on its availability to us; it is dependant on the other venues that have booked it at their Museums. Presently it is at Newcastle-on-Tyne in the UK, after which it comes to Scienceworks, and then on to it's next tour destination.

Hope this helps

Is this only going to be in Victoria?

Discovery Centre 13 Dec 2011 12:51

Hi Marianna - Scienceworks will be the first stop for Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention exhibition tour of Australia, as well as being the first venue ever outside the UK for this lovable and inventive duo.  Next stop after Scienceworks is the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney from December 2012.

"Cheese Gromit, Cheese!"....can't wait for this to come.

I took my children to see this or a very similar exhibition in London in 2009 at the science museum. It was fantastic and we loved it so much that we went twice. I must say that one of the best and most refreshing parts of the exhibition in London was that there were no restrictions placed on photography. I hope that science works will follow suit.
