Exhibit delves
into world of the
unexpected
What’s more amazing that Robert
Ripley’s legendary compendium of
oddities, anomalies and fantastic feats?
The science that underlies them!
OMSI presents “The Science of Rip-
ley’s Believe It or Not!” a 6,000 square
foot interactive exhibit that explores
the real science behind the unbeliev-
able. The collection of intriguing ob-
jects and astonishing artifacts is open
through Sept. 7.
Visitors can discover epic examples
of extreme biology as they stand inside
a life-size Megalodon jaw; experience
what it would be like to be swallowed
by the giant prehistoric snaked called
Titanoboa; or measure up against Rob-
ert Wadlow, the world’s tallest man,
who grew to 8 feet 11 inches.
In addition, guests are invited to
delve into the world of the unexpected.
From a giant portrait of Albert Einstein
made of toast to a larger-than-life por-
trait of Justin Bieber made from candy,
the science of pixilation comes to life
in colorful and unusual ways.
