An exciting range of activities will help visitors unravel mysteries from the science of chemistry, introduce its applications and discover the contributions made to science by some of its lesser-known pioneers.

Families, schools and homeschooling groups are invited to join this FREE event at Manchester Central Library for a fun-filled journey of learning.

This event is made possible through the generous support of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Event sponsored by the Ernest Solvay Fund, administered by the King Baudouin Foundation.

The event is organised as part of the successful “1001 Inventions: Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry” educational initiative, launched in partnership with UNESCO, to celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019). The global educational initiative was launched at UNESCO HQ in Paris in January 2019 and was then featured at the China Science Festival, All-Russian Science Festival, Berlin Science Week, the Royal Society of Chemistry in London and the Maker Faire Cairo in Egypt. The initiative continues to help inspire a future generation of chemists while promoting diversity and intercultural appreciation online and through global events in partnership with museums, science centres, festivals, schools, and libraries.
