Royal Museums Greenwich - What's on November

Clocking Off Late 13 November We're taking the museum back to the Georgian age with our next Late event. Get in costume with wig making workshops from subversive milliner Sue Walker or join steampunk seamstress Miss Emilly Ladybird to create your own naval tri-cornered hat. Our photobooth team will help you capture your fashionable attire in the perfect Georgian miniature and we'll be offering prizes for sharing your best pics. There'll also be live music from The Frolick and experiential story-telling from Clockwork Watch. It's also a great chance to explore our major Ships, Clocks & Stars exhibition and Traders gallery with a series of talks and tours.  Happy Birthday Cutty Sark 21 - 22 November This month Cutty Sark is celebrating her 145th birthday, and she's looking pretty good for her age! Join us for a weekend of celebrations, including traditional shanties and a performance by Jock 'white hat' Willis. Folk singer Karine Polwart will also be performing under the ships's magnificent hull on 21 November.     Toddler Takeover Day 21 November We're launching brand new activities for under 5s as part of our birthday celebrations. Pop along to a fun-filled day for toddlers with drop-in activities, songs and stories as well as toys and story-bags to borrow and play with around the ship.

Come along for family workshops and discover more about how trade by sea brought people, ideas and culture from Asia to Britain.   The Knowledge 27 November Could you survive an apocalypse? Simple questions like 'What time is it?' or 'Where am I?' are crucial to our survival and easily answered, until technology fails us. Dr Lewis Dartnell, astrobiologist and author, joins us to discuss how to survive if society ends.    Dark Universe Planetarium Show Open now Dark Universe is the latest show to enjoy at London's only planetarium. It features the most accurate simulations of our galaxy ever created and charts the pivotal discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos. You'll also discover the new frontiers of scientific exploration and see how much is still left to answer about our known universe.    Astronomy Photographer of the Year Open now The winning images from the competition are on display at the Royal Observatory Astronomy Centre Entry is free. We'll also be releasing a series of videos where some of the winning photographers talk about their photos. The first of these can be viewed above.    Travellers' Tails Seminar   20 November The history of exploration is dominated by great heroes pushing fowards to the limits of the known-world. The next seminar in our Travellers' Tails series will question what the alternative stories are; especially the role local peoples play in the making of geographical knowledge. We're offering you the chance to win tickets to this seminar on Twitter.    Final Weeks: War & Memory Ends 16 November November is your last chance to catch the moving Rozanne Hawksley exhibition examining war and commemoration. As well as the exhibition you can see two pieces of theatre in reaction to her work: Where Then Shall We Start andRemembering With Rozanne. On 11 November, Rozanne will also be joining us for an Armistice Parade.    From our friends at the Science Museum FINAL WEEKS: Stranger Than Fiction This first major UK exhibition by award-winning photographer Joan Fontcuberta features six documentary narratives that combine reality and fiction. Using the visual languages of journalism, advertising, museum displays and scientific journals, these convincing yet subversive and deadpan works are an investigation into photography's authority and our inclination to believe what we see.
