Stories of Science: Water
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many strange and surprising stories from the history of science!
Each month we explore a different theme and in August, we’ll be diving into water.
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like ice cube trays and LED light bulbs. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.
See BOLD before it closes!
Don’t miss the last Dyes & Textiles Tour at 2pm, where we will tour the BOLD exhibition on its last day and learn about the fascinating history of fashion and its impact on our world and our waterways.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
