Find out how Chemistry is used in daily life at this museum/science centre that concentrates solely on Chemistry. The idea of the centre is to educate and inform about the Chemistry industry, both past, present and future.Clearly a very educational attraction, this will also excite and amuse with the wide range of exhibits which Schools will benefit from greatly. Special activities are held throughout School holidays.Don't miss out on the Catalytic Discovery Lab which offers a wide range of workshops and activities for Children from 8 years old - You will not have seen a lab like this before, with its crazy colour and modern design.

There is also the Alchamy Theatre, with interactive 3-D voting (Like a game show!) these tailor made films make for an unforgettable experience.

For those interested in a future in Chemistry, there is the Careers gallery, where DVDs and hands-on displays provide a peek into the various positions available within the industry.
