Every object in our world has a story of how it is made. How People Make Things, a new exhibit opening at RPM, tells that story by linking familiar childhood objects to a process of manufacturing that combines people, ideas and technology.
How People Make Things is inspired by the factory tour segments from the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood television series and offers hands-on activities using real factory tools and machines to create objects with four manufacturing processes: molding, cutting, deforming and assembly. Many common manufactured products help tell the story of how people, ideas and technology transform raw materials into finished products.
Museum Admission is required to see any of our temporary exhibitions, but admission to a temporary exhibition is included in the price of your ticket. There are no additional fees to see a temporary exhibition at RPM.
