About
The Cat That Slept For A Thousand Years promises an unforgettable experience at WX Wakefield Exchange this spring!
Bringing a touch of magic, The Cat That Slept For A Thousand Years is 10 metre long Cat that snores, purrs, twitches its ear and swishes its tail!
Brought to life by Air Giants’ pioneering robotic technology, the cat invites all ages to immerse yourself in her unique movements.
Originally commissioned by Manchester Museum, part of the University of Manchester, the cat is now heading to Wakefield where visitors can show their affection by giving it a stroke or a cuddle, and feel a massive purr. The more people there are, the more restless it is.
Wakefield Exchange will feature an immersive exhibition delving into the fascinating story of the legendary cat, complemented by a curated display of feline-themed artifacts from the museum’s collection.
Families can look forward to a variety of engaging, cat-inspired activities designed to entertain and spark creativity for all ages.
Please note the exhibition will be closed Monday 23 March – Tuesday 24 March.
