So Much to Experience This Month

With new themed-activities each month, planetarium shows and rotating exhibits there is always something happening at the North!

THE SCIENCE OF ART

When we think of art, we think of something you look at or something that you paint or sculpt, but there is a lot more to it! From March 6th through the 17th, come on into the North Museum to not only learn about different types of art by doing your own Chromatography and Rubbing Alcohol Watercolors, but also how science can create art too!
