Examine the life and theories of the most famous scientist of the 20th century and arguably the most brilliant scientific mind of modern times.
The Einstein exhibition brings to life Einstein’s theories through engaging interactives while exploring Einstein’s influence. Exhibits allow visitors to bend the fabric of space-time, experiment with a time clock, and more.
Learn Einstein's Concepts through Interactive Demonstrations
The Legend of the Compass - When Albert Einstein was five years old and sick in bed, his father gave him a magnetic compass. Repeat Albert's first experiment!
The Secret in the Light - You learn the secret hidden inside every light bulb, and get a glimpse at one of Einstein's most important discoveries, the laser.
Quantum Leap - In 1905, Einstein showed us the atom, stopped time in its tracks, and made an amazing discovery about light. Light, it turns out, is lumpy.
That Equation - Here you'll use E=mc2 to turn yourself entirely into energy. You'll never see a bathroom scale the same way again.
Exploding Atoms & Stars - You'll peer into a working cloud chamber and watch, as one by one, atoms explode.
