A starry-eyed look at sci-fi, video games and nursery rhymes.

Marking the 200th anniversary of the passing of Jane Taylor, the poet behind the famous lullaby Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, this exhibition opens up the fascinating legacy of the beloved nursery rhyme and its influence on modern-day comics and video games.

Lunar Lullabies showcases stunning works of art which explore space and science, alongside historical artefacts and contemporary pop culture. Discover objects ranging from meteorites, asteroid rocks to Lego Star Wars sets up close, humanity's journey to the moon and Peter Elson’s fantastical visions of space.
