In 1984, our edu team saw a show, “That’s Incredible”, featuring a girl who trained rats to play basketball for school. They were immediately obsessed and knew it was perfect for the sports psychology exhibit in development at the time. She came to the museum to train our team & the rest is history!

While sunlight is made up of many wavelengths of light, our eyes detect white light. This kinetic sculpture of a tree has diffraction gratings on its 'leaves' which split up that white light into individual colors of the visible spectrum— revealing rainbows! 🌈
