Given the weather, it is perhaps unsurprising that there is a winter theme to today’s blog. To date Central Manchester has been relatively unscathed by the blizzards hitting the UK. However, the weather has had its impact – the team working on graphics for the Experiment gallery have been caught in 12 inches of snow in Sheffield – meaning that work on the gallery has been restricted to the installation of exhibits. As a result there is a lack of obvious visual progress, meaning we’ve only got a very brief photographic update from within Experiment. We don’t like our blog fans to feel short changed so we have thrown in some bonus images of a somewhat beautiful, snow covered MOSI taken from within the Great Western Warehouse and the rest of the Museum. Earlier today the MOSI Blog team had the privilege of being the first members of staff to view our incredible new Christmas movie Sleigh Ride in 4D. We don’t want to give too much away but the movie tells the heroic story of how Santa’s helpers saved Christmas, of course, this is a MOSI 4D movie, so expect many more surprises waiting for you beyond the big screen.
Sleigh Ride is screened daily throughout the month of December and tickets are priced at £3.50 for Adults and £2.50 concessions. All of our 4D shows last approximately 15 minutes. More information on Sleigh Ride and our entire range of 4D movies is available here.
To complete the seasonal nature of this post, we also have a Festive Grotto open at weekends throughout December, tickets for the Grotto are priced at £5, including craft activities and a special gift and are available from the Information Desk in the Great Western Warehouse.
With so much going on throughout December, why not combine a trip to MOSI with your Christmas Shopping trip to Manchester for a festive treat for the whole family?
More from Experiment tomorrow (Weather Permitting!)
A good post. Hope the folks in Sheffield can get into MOSI to do their stuff. Will try to get down to see Sleigh Ride. Sounds cool.

Very nice, hey I will be in Tuesday make sure it is clear for the Secretary. ha ha
ReplyDeleteI thought about a BLOG and set one up but can I use this one instead.
ReplyDeleteWent to Capesthorne Hall on Saturday - freezing cold but Christmas Fair was very good.
MOSI is a fantastic place, used to work there as a Presenter but retired and now I am Secretary of the Friends of MOSI how cool is that. For an employee to continue as a volunteer it must be a very special place. Everybody knew me as Foggy or Big JD so carry on calling me that.
