Wavelengths: The Art & Science of Color & Light
May 11 - September 8, 2013
Explore the wonders of color and light with this all-new, hands-on exhibit created by the Clay Center! Travel from the art gallery to the Mylan Explore-atory and make our collection your own as you change a work of art just by adjusting light, spin tops to mix colors, cast a rainbow shadow and much more.
Be the Dinosaur
Opening September 28, 2013
Be the Dinosaur fuses state-of-the-art video game technology with traditional paleontology exhibits that feature full-size dinosaur bones, a paleontology field station, a Safari Jeep and much more. Thanks to highly interactive simulator pods, guests can “become” an actual living, breathing dinosaur within a virtual Cretaceous Era ecosystem. Younger guests can take part in our Dino Dig, where everyone leaves with a dino-mite prize! The exhibit will also feature dinosaur artifacts and activities exploring dino defenses, size, colors and lifestyles.
