Stories of Science: Last Bite of School Lunch
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many surprising and spellbinding stories from the history of science.
January is the final month our Lunchtime exhibition will be on view, so all month long we are savoring the science behind our school lunches.
Saturday’s fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Visit our activity table this week to learn about the science history preserved within our portable coolers and refrigerators. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like plastic bottles 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.
During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm. This week, join the gallery guides on our 2pm tour of Lunchtime to explore the history and development of the national school lunch program.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
