Thanks. The idea appears to have been born that year but the first exhibition did not open until 1987.

Hi -I just inserted a couple of additional pieces by way of general description. I worked there 1993-95 so I'll be restrained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelisteninghand (talk • contribs) 22:07, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Couple more things including photo. Cite to Guinness world records -I can't find another RSS and realise the book must be primary source. I'll keep looking. Thelisteninghand (talk) 23:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In need of sources to refer to the trustees. The executive was Iann Barron and chair was George Ferguson (politician). I'm looking for press/photos from 1987-99. As the country's first hands-on science centre this article shouldn't be rated low importance imo. The Exploratory was Bristol's second largest visitor attraction.
