🌞 Catch some indoor sunshine this summer! 🌞
Cardiff’s National Museum has just unveiled ‘Helios’, a stunning seven-metre glowing orb representing the sun, crafted with intricate NASA imagery. From today, you can explore this massive installation for free throughout the school summer holidays. Helios has landed just in time for the rare solar eclipse on August 12, offering a cosmic experience right in the heart of the city.
Following the wildly popular ‘Museum of the Moon’, artist Luke Jerram brings his magic back with something equally mesmerising. Beyond the stunning visuals, Helios is coupled with an immersive soundscape, transforming your museum visit into a sensory adventure. 🌌
Families, you’re in for a treat with plenty of special events, hands-on activities, and engaging science discussions, like ‘Science of the Sun’ with Jon Chase on August 8. For a magical night, don’t miss the Museum Sleepover Under Helios on August 22 and 23 or the Solar Eclipse Late Night Opening on August 12. Yoga enthusiasts can unwind with ‘Sunset Yoga’ sessions until August 28. 🧘♀️
Little ones can get creative at the Clore Discovery Centre, making solar eclipse viewers and exploring summer trails. And for a moment of tranquillity, adults can take part in soothing evening events and wellness sessions. 🌿
Don’t miss your chance to experience Helios—it will be shining in Cardiff until August 31. Perfect for the whole family, and best of all, it’s free! Just remember to book ahead and keep an eye out for more sunny events. 🌞
Plan your visit and make the most of this stellar opportunity to connect with art and astronomy this summer. See you under the sun! 🚀
