Join us for a special Presentation and Exhibition Preview introducing our two new Spring and Summer exhibitions: Inside the Faraday Cage: The Science of Things That Aren’t So and A Tale of Two Pianos.
Be among the first to experience these new installations ahead of their public opening. Curatorial Director John Leysath will present on Hammond’s 1951 Faraday cage experiments, while Assistant Curator Donovan Lafontaine offers an introduction to the piano exhibition.
Inside the Faraday Cage features a life-size, non-working replica of the experimental apparatus, inviting guests to step inside and explore Hammond’s investigations into ESP alongside physician and parapsychologist Andrija Puharich and psychic medium Eileen Garrett.
Museum members and VIP guests enjoy complimentary admission.
A $15 fee applies to the general public.
Reservations are required. Space is limited.
