Reality is acting strange this Halloween 👻🎃

For one month only, step into a Bat Cave filled with infinite reflections, spot Einstein in unexpected Halloween disguises, discover spooky twists on your favourite exhibits — and even serve your head among the pumpkins.

Around every corner, you’ll see just how weird reality can get. And the weird comes with a surprise…

Come curious. Leave with a puzzle. And prepare for reality to get a little weird.
