Taking A Closer Look October 4, 2008

Some of history's great scientists did their best work when employing all of their senses to better observe their world. This renovated, updated exhibit (formerly 'The Observatory: Seeing the Unseen') is packed with interactive components that encourage you to exercise your powers of perception. See what you can discover when you pay attention to your senses, and learn about ways technology can extend our reach beyond what we can perceive on our own. Visitors will explore the world around them using all of the senses: sight, hearing, touch, and smell.
