A MUSEUM is opening its doors after dark for a Halloween party for adults.

Newcastle’s Life Science Centre will offer everything from a Crystal Maze-inspired laser maze to dissecting real organs, from 8pm to 11pm on Friday October 26.

At Halloween Late: Bewitching Bots – the name being a nod to Life’s current blockbuster exhibition Robots – then and now, there will also be a station to decorate Day of the Dead sugar skulls, an ultraviolet Gin bar and partygoers can let their zombie hair down and dance the night away.

Life events manager Sheela Bell said: “For one night only, we’re transforming Life into an immersive Halloween experience that will be unlike anything people have been to before.

“Fancy dress is heavily encouraged – there might be a few treats in store for the best-dressed. And we’ll have some special effect make-up artists on-hand to help give your costumes that killer edge.”

Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the Robots – then and now exhibition, developed by the Science Museum in London, before it vanishes from the science centre a few weeks later. The exhibition features unnervingly lifelike humanoids and an evil T-800 from the film Terminator Salvation.
