New York Hall of Science - Exhibits

Exhibits

The Hall mainly focuses on education for children ages 1–17 and its audience consists primarily of city children for whom the exposure to science is something new. The museum includes a large permanent collection as well as a range of travelling exhibitions. Although somewhat more common now, the museum was among the first to have its young visitors assess its exhibits and it welcomed their feedback in preparation for the re-opening in 1986. The Hall's permanent exhibitions include:

  • Connections: The Nature of Networks
  • Feedback
  • Hidden Kingdoms: The World of Microbes
  • Mathematica: A World of Numbers... and Beyond
  • Marvelous Molecules- The Secret of Life

Famous quotes containing the word exhibits:

    “After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It exhibits the effort of an essentially prosaic mind to lift itself, by a prolonged muscular strain, into poetry.”
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    “Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
