Return of the QVMadness
Join us on 4 May as the Museum at Inveresk transforms into a galaxy of fun for all ages.
Get ready to groove at our out-of-this-world Sci-lent Disco – we’ll bring the headphones and epic tracks, you bring your best space dance moves.
Step into the spotlight in our epic Cosplay Competition – strike a pose and compete for amazing prizes as your favourite sci-fi or fantasy character.
Snap up a Sci-Fi Caricature Portrait by Launceston’s own Ben Winwood, or chart a course through the stars in Game Hub 3000, packed with stellar board games for cosmic explorers of all ages.
Wondering Where is Everyone? Join QVMAG Astronomer Chris Arkless for a mind-expanding talk about the search for life beyond Earth.
Take a selfie in a galaxy far, far away at our PhotoSpace Stations, and don’t miss the Tasmanian Litesabre Alliance as they clash in a live, action-packed showdown of heroes vs villains.
