🔔 Don't miss your chance to see our latest rotating exhibition, Lunchtime: the History of Science on the School Food Tray! January is the final month this exhibition will be on view, so all month long we are savoring the science behind our school lunches. ⁠
⁠
Join us this Saturday, January 10, for Stories of Science: Last Bite of School Lunch. 🍎 Saturday’s fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages!⁠
⁠
Visit our activity table this week to explore familiar and unfamiliar school lunch related artifacts. Guests to the table are invited to draw connections between their own experiences of school lunch and some fascinating facets of food history. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.⁠

During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm. This week, join the gallery guides on our “Stuff From Your House” tour at 11:30am. Learn about the scientific principles and history behind everyday household objects—including the humble measuring cup! ⁠
