Britain's What's On Event Guide
Science Museum Lates
Science Museum Lates are adults-only, after-hours theme nights that take place in the museum throughout the year.
From conspiracy theories to deep fakes, cryptocurrency and NFTs, counterfeits to AI art. As our world becomes increasingly digital and feels less tangible where do we draw the line on what we consider real and fake? And how do we know who to trust?
Join us for Lates in March—there’ll be fascinating talks, illuminating tours, hands-on workshops and much more to explore!
Highlights include:
