The event includes a modern take on Little Red Riding Hood performed whilst real scientists attempt to deceive and stimulate the audiences’ senses. The art and science of wine tasting with experts from Vinopolis and a look at visual illusions used by neuroscientists to analyse how humans perceive the world. A collaboration between the BA, EDAB and the Science Museum.
An evening exploring and challenging human perceptions and senses - through performance, discussion, illusion and wine tasting - was today, 1 July, announced by the Science Museum’s Dana Centre.
Making Sense: experiencing the world around us is the latest event taking place at the Dana Centre in London - the UK’s only venue for adults to discuss contemporary and controversial science - which is developing a strong reputation for creating innovative science events.
A modern take on Little Red Riding Hood will be performed whilst real scientists attempt to deceive and stimulate the audiences’ senses. The art and science of wine tasting with experts from Vinopolis and a look at visual illusions used by neuroscientists to analyse how humans perceive the world are just some of the things visitors to the Dana Centre will be able to experience on Thursday 21 July.
Human senses are our only link to the outside world and are how we interpret the world around us, but individuals’ perceptions can vary radically from person to person.

Making Sense: experiencing the world around us is a one-off special event at the Dana Centre in London and is a collaboration between the Science Museum, the BA and EDAB.
