Why don't you do something cutting edge to kick off the weekend?

Across the continent, Friday 30 September is European Researchers' Night so we thought we'd open the museum late and fill it with some of the North East's sharpest minds: scientists, thinkers, doers and fun-lovers. Should be a blast.

Researchers are the innovators, the risk-takers, pushing the boundaries of what we know and what's possible. Grab a drink at the Science bar and chat with one about the burning issues of the day. Take a tour of the museum with a curator expert. Be the subject of groundbreaking current research. Be different.

Science Uncovered was a big hit at London's Natural History Museum last year and you can be the first to experience it in Newcastle. You're in the know - tell a friend and we'll see you at the bar.

6pm-10pm
