The Mind Museum: Mobius Strip
Viewers get to immerse in the magic of the mobius strip in this larger-than-life exhibit. They can climb up and slide down the surfaces and really appreciate the single-sided wonder.
The Mind Museum: Giant Rainsticks
The transparent oversized tubes show how pebbles rushing through crisscrossing rods create the rain sound effect in the aptly called Rainsticks.
The Mind Museum: Drums
The Mind Museum: Gravity Exhibit
A balance between centripetal and centrifugal forces keeps the moon in orbit around our planet, and this exhibit shows a motorized model of the moon being spun around the earth. Viewers are allowed to tip that balance by being given control of the moon's speed (see the big red speed dials?). Too slow and the freely hung moon crashes into the earth. Too fast and the moon moves farther away, eventually "escaping" its orbit.
