Ladies and gentlemen, the Science Circus has come to town!
Science Circus: Step Right Up! is the latest traveling exhibition of The Mind Museum, showcasing the amusing, the peculiar, and the extraordinary in our everyday experiences, in the form of interactive exhibits that deceive the senses and boggle the mind. Be ready to #EnterTheScienceCircus this coming October 28, 2016!
While the nearly 250-year history of the circus abounds with awe-inspiring demonstrations of physical skill – such as high-flying aerial artists, to death-defying daredevils – the Science Circus challenges our traditional notions of a circus by focusing on the mind’s “acrobatic” perceptual tricks.
As the guests enter the exhibition, they are welcomed by a festive, colorful façade which sets the tone for the sights and sounds they are about to experience. These interactive exhibits are displayed simultaneously in three adjacent Rings. Guests can go in any of the Rings in the order they please.
Ring One, or Deception Perception is a menagerie of exhibits that will prompt you to question whether to see is to believe. Can you always trust your senses? Is what you see as real as it seems? Can your brain produce motion where there is none? Your first venture into the Circus will unveil the “blindness” of your mind’s eye.
Ring Two highlights Pieces of Incredible Engineering, where guests can engage their minds in puzzles and relish how math and art come together. This central area is animated by simple machines, and engages guests in activities that evoke their inner engineer.
Last but not least, Ring Three is Encounters with the Masters, where guests can interact with and learn the secrets of the Masters of Illusion. They can take on the challenges posed by each Master, and discover how our brains can be ensnared by smoke and mirrors.
The Science Circus: Step Right Up! exhibition vividly illustrates how our everyday experiences are full of delightful secrets that we can uncover, to discover more about ourselves and the world around us.
I can’t recall if my son experience watching circus so I’m a bit interested when I learned about this. I just hope we could find time na, hindi namin napuntahan yung Dino Play Exhibit, sayang. Nung bata ko may perya lagi pag may Fiesta.
Wow ang cute. Hope to visit Mind Museum. I am sure my son will love this place.
This looks like such a fun exhibit! We were just at the Mind Museum several weeks ago for Dino Play, which our whole family enjoyed. We gotta catch this Science Circus too. 🙂
Nice. A very interesting circus. I was expecting something about animals. Haha Did you Make this? REALLY NEAT!
Going at the Mind Museum’s Science Circus is truly a great way to treat our little ones and at the same time learn in a fun way. I plan to bring my boys here as soon as my mom frees her time.
I am so torn on whether to go back to BGC or just give my tickets to people who might be interested. I think Science circus is really fun, pero soooobrang hirap mag commute sa BGC! huhu! I’m still not decided. 😀
Ooh, this is so cool! It’s so nice that the Mind Museum has many pakulo to keep the guests entertained. I haven’t had the chance to bring the kids there yet. In their school though, field trip yata ito for higher levels. Maybe, we’ll just wait for that haha.
I’ve never been to The Mind Museum. Last MBP’s Mad Hatter Halloween Party sana but because of some circumstances and the husband getting sick kaya di na kami nakatuloy. I think The Science Circus is something to look forward to!
I want to visit there again sana kaso ang layo wala na si hubby. Sayang but super saya ng Mind Museum venture after the Mad hatter party. It’s nice to see you there mommy 🙂
