Curious Timeline
Celebrating the last 25 years of We The Curious
A timeline in the Foyer of We The Curious that celebrates the past, present and future of Bristol’s curiosity through images and interactive elements designed for all ages.
Earlier this year, as part of its 25th birthday celebrations, We The Curious invited the people of Bristol to share their memories, photos, videos, and stories, helping to shape the Curious Timeline. The response was overwhelming, with contributions capturing everything from early school visits and Planetarium “wow moments” to personal life stories created at We The Curious.
The Curious Timeline is made from physical materials that have been squirrelled away at the science centre – recycled pieces from the workshop, archival material, and repurposed parts of past exhibits all feature. We took inspiration from imagining these stored treasures coming back to life and marching out of the store cupboard to share their memories.
Memories featured in The Curious Timeline vary from families over the generations discovering the joy of the science centre, to couples finding love amongst the stars of the planetarium.
