Professor Francisca Okeke

Celebrate Black History Month by finding out about the achievements of Nigerian scientist, Professor Francisca Okeke, who has the rare honour of having an asteroid named after her.

We'll also be sharing the stories of other Black scientists, past and present, through:

  • gallery trails
  • object handling
  • games and activities

in the gallery. This event is brought to you in partnership with Betelgeuse Theatre workshop.

Just drop-in, no need to book.
