Full biography
A visit from Tayside Planetarium brings the wonder of the night sky to you! Marvel at twinkling stars, explore the frontiers of outer space, or ponder the vastness of our Universe. We will tailor the experience to you and your venue. Book a morning, a whole day, or evening - with flexible timetabling and adaptable interactive shows.
Tayside Planetarium was founded in 2022 by Matt Williamson.
Matt is a science communicator who has devoted the last decade to chatting with young people about science. He has a degree in chemistry and physics, and a belief that there is no such thing as a silly question.
In the past, Matt has worked for science centres, observatories, and planetariums, in Newcastle and Edinburgh. In that time, he has performed countless shows, met an astronaut or two, and fallen ever more deeply in love with the night sky.
