MythBusters: The Explosive Exhi­
bition opened this month and con­
tinues through May 5.
The exhilarating exhibition brings
the popular Discovery Channel se­
ries to life, helping visitors uncover
truths behind popular myths by
mixing scientific method with glee­
ful curiosity and old-fashioned in­
genuity.
MythBusters: The Explosive Ex­
hibition creates hands-on, interac­
tive experiences for guests of all
ages by combining popular scien­
tific facts with innovative, family-
friendly displays.
In MythBusters, co-hosts Adam
Savage and Jamie Hyneman take
scientific investigation to exciting
new levels by proving or exploding
myths using their highly experimen­
tal approach and extensive back­
grounds in special effects. Savage
and Hyneman were heavily involved
throughout the development of the
exhibition to ensure guests experi­
ence a true MythBusting encoun­
ter.
OMSI guests will learn about
myths, the MythBusters and what
experimenting is all about by partici­
pating in a series of fun, hands-on and experimentation for all ages,"
experiences and live demonstra­ said Amy Noble Seitz, OMSI founder
tions. Experiments cover topics such and chief executive of the museum ’ s
as flight, friction, gravity, speed and exhibit development group
combustion.
Tickets are on sale at omsi.edu.
"We truly hope this exhibition Admission for adults is $18; youth
will spur scientific curiosity, thought (3-13) and seniors (63+) is $ 13.
