MUSEUMS
The World Around Us
This exhibit opened in September 2005 at the Louisville Science Center, Louisville, Ky. It just might change the way visitors see our planet. The exhibit brings natural and earth sciences to life with interactive experiences such as Go H2O! – the water cycle exhibit that looks and "plays" like a giant pinball machine. Exhibits feature real animal mounts amid multimedia experiences. Visitors can get a glimpse into the forest canopy through a periscope or choose a sit-in adventure that feels like rocketing into space. This permanent exhibit allows visitors to explore three themed galleries: "Aquasphere: Water that Sustains Us," "Terrasphere: Environments that Support Us" and "Atmosphere: Air that Surrounds Us." In the Discovery Gallery, a hands-on learning area for all ages, the Science Center's natural history collection has a dynamic new home.
