Stories of Science: Party in the Lab
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!
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. 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.
This week, we continue our “Party in the Lab” theme with some mysterious objects from our handling collection. Can you guess what they are used for?
During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm.
