| Sloan Museum of Discovery to Open New Exhibit February 3, 2024 |
|
|
Just across the street from Longway Planetarium is the Sloan Museum of Discovery. Make it a day of discovery and check out the Sloan Museum's special traveling exhibit, REAL BODIES: THE EXHIBITION, through January 14, 2024, and Mazes & Brain Games starting February 3. |
|
REAL BODIES: THE EXHIBITION Ends January 14, 2024
If you haven't had a chance to see this remarkable exhibit yet you have until January 14, 2024. Sloan and Longway Members get in for just $5 per person. REAL BODIES will connect audiences to a deeper sense of what it means to be alive. Founded on anatomical, cultural, and emotional narratives, the exhibition transforms the way we view the mysterious organism we all share - the human body - and reminds us of all the complexity and magic within us that we often take for granted.
Learn more or buy tickets at SloanLongway.org/Real-Bodies. |
