Wondermind

         Wondermind is about a few things. It’s about the brilliant, amazing and truly mind-boggling stuff that’s going on inside your brain as you grow. It’s about the art of Alice in Wonderland, the exhibition at Tate Liverpool. And it’s about putting together both of those things: mixing art with science. Being good at one doesn’t mean you can’t be good at the other (in fact, it’s often the opposite).

             You might wonder, “What links all of those things together?”
 What’s the difference between science and art? So SCIENCE and ART can be found everywhere, and are not very different at all… 

Enter the world of your Wondermind and:

•   talk to scientists who know more about your brain than even you do

•   discover art inspired by the developing brain

•   follow the White Rabbit into the forest of synapses

•   find the Cheshire Cat in a moonlit maze

•   talk tea with the Mad Hatter

•   remember not to upset the Queen of Hearts
