Night Journeys: an Adventure in the World of Sleep and Dreams February 4, 2011

Sleep is a familiar yet mysterious activity. In the exhibit 'Night Journeys,' visitors try out headrests from different cultures, climb on an oversized bed to find charms that ward off nighttime evils, submit their nightmares to the mythic Japanese dream eater Baku, re-enact bedtime rituals, and learn about dream interpretation in other parts of the world among other explorations of sleep and dreaming.
