The original Xperiment! exhibits

November 21, 2016

These are the original Xperiment! interactive science exhibits from the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, photographed back in 1988. You can see most of them by clicking on this Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/…/interacti…/albums/72157672916866023
They remained in service for over ten years until the space was completely redesigned. Shortly afterwards, they were rescued by the Unizulu Science Centre in Richard's Bay, South Africa, where I was delighted to see many of them still in constant use nearly thirty years later!
