The National Space Centre, Leicester

Click to see ‘The National Space Centre, Leicester’ in a variety of different sizesThis rather odd — perhaps brave — building is the National Space Centre: Leicester’s first and only tourist attraction (although the British space programme, Starchaser, is based on an industrial estate in Hyde, Greater Manchester).

Sadly it is quite a let down. The Space Centre is dominated by stuff for kids, which would be okay if it looked like something interesting rather than a cheap, but text heavy playground. More importantly, there is no narrative to pull it together and so it’s all a bit messy and hard to know how you’re expected to approach what little there is to see.
This posted via mobile via Flickr and so not so closely proofread. Click the pic to see it large (there’s an ‘all-sizes’ tab for really large).
