Tomorrow marks the first day of school holidays and the 50-day mark until world-famous inventors Wallace and Gromit move into Scienceworks, and to celebrate, tickets for the Australian-first exhibition will be available for purchase.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tickets will be available from Saturday 31 March, and can be purchased online from the Scienceworks website http:\/\/museumvictoria.com.au\/scienceworks\/<\/a>, or alternatively by calling the bookings office on 13 11 02.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Melbourne\u2019s home of interactive science will be the first venue outside of the UK to host the exhibition Wallace & Gromit\u2019s World of Invention<\/em>, which showcases how innovation and inventiveness are a part of everyday life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visitors will be able to try their hand at a series of interactive exhibits modelled on some of the most quirky inventions built by much-loved TV character Wallace – a resourceful and creative inventor helped by his clever companion, Gromit the dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of these more colourful inventions include the Blend-o-matic, a device which allows visitors to concoct their own smoothie flavour, and the Tellyscope II, a device that changes TV channels using step-by-step mechanics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wallace & Gromit\u2019s World of Invention<\/em> also introduces new inventions such as the Karaoke Disco Shower, where visitors can test their vocal cords with a full musical accompaniment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cScienceworks is a place that celebrates science and innovation, so we\u2019re very excited to have the chance to showcase the work of one of the world\u2019s most unusual and famous fictional inventors,\u201d said Dr Patrick Greene, CEO Museum Victoria.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Australian tour of Wallace & Gromit\u2019s World of Invention<\/em> is generously supported by IP Australia, the federal government agency that administers Australia\u2019s patents, trade marks, registered designs and plant breeders\u2019 rights. Much of the exhibition content explores the importance of protecting ideas and inventions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIP Australia\u2019s support has been invaluable in bringing this exhibition to Australia and in helping our team at Scienceworks, and our partners at the Powerhouse, to give it an Australian flavour,\u201d said Dr Greene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tickets are $19 for adults, $7.50 for concession and $6.00 for children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
