We The Curious is a science and arts centre and educational charity located in Bristol, England. It offers over 200 interactive exhibits and is home to the UK’s first 3D Planetarium. The centre aims to create a culture of curiosity by breaking down barriers around science, art, and ideas to bring people together regardless of background. It is a playful, inclusive venue with hands-on exhibits, live science shows, and collaborative experiences. We The Curious reopened in July 2024 after repairs following a fire in 2022. It hosts over 300,000 visitors annually, including families, school groups, and community organizations.

  • Over 200 interactive exhibits on diverse topics such as space and the human body.
  • The UK's only 3D Planetarium with various shows for different age groups.
  • The "Project What If" exhibition exploring big questions about time, space, and happiness.
  • Family-friendly activities including science-themed storytelling, construction play, and culinary science adventures.
  • A flexible and welcoming space designed to be accessible and fun for everyone from children to adults.

The centre operates mainly as an indoor festival of science, art, and ideas, promoting a culture where curiosity drives learning and discovery.
