In the interest of safety, we have temporarily closed our most highly interactive and 'touched' exhibits and developed two new and exciting miSci-curated presentations: 'Sound Recording', highlights our collection of some of the most important sound recording artifacts in the world. It tells the story of how the recording industry evolved... from Edison's tinfoil phonograph to the current digital age. The second exhibit, Play!', utilizes miSci's collection to explore the evolution of play over time, focusing on outdoor recreation.
