2000 • Launch of Glasgow Science Centre
Also in 2000, the Hogmanay Riverside launch of the Science Centre in Glasgow took place in two feet of snow but timed perfectly for a gap in a blizzard. All the work was commissioned by UZ, including a children’s parade, video projections and a massive sculptural orrery (a mechanical model of the Solar System), created by Graeme Gilmour. In addition there was an extraordinary pyrotechnic display by Groupe F – the first of several commissions of this company.
