Second Saturdays - Beyond Gravity: Moving Water Uphill

On Saturday, May 9th at 1pm, Martin Perlmutter, Board President/Chairman and Treasurer of the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, will share an in-depth look at the mechanics of moving water against gravity, from cups and buckets to centrifugal pumps. Learn more about the engineering principles that powered the museum's giant steam engines, and which still bring clean water access to communities around the world today!

All Second Saturday events take place upstairs in our Overlook Gallery. The presentations are free and open to everyone, including walk-in visitors, space permitting. Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your FREE tickets in advance.
