What's not to miss inside?

Big Ideas, Small Rooms

Tight spaces focus the mind on one question at a time—perfect for deep dives without fatigue.

From lab bench to life story in a few carefully staged works.

Pick one piece; ask: what is the data, what is the feeling, and where do they meet?

📍 First-floor galleries above the café

Conversation Starters

You’ll leave with language to discuss tricky topics (ageing, care, bias) with friends or students.

Curators turn research questions into public questions.

Note two phrases you’d reuse; test them over coffee downstairs.

📍 Texts, short films and interactive prompts throughout

Ground-Floor Café & Terrace

A natural spill-over space to process what you’ve seen; step-free access makes meetups easy.

Debrief where the university meets the city.

Sketch a ‘mind map’ of one theme while it’s fresh; compare with your companion’s.

📍 Street level
