"Cool Moves! The Artistry of Motion" at Muncie Children's Museum

There is an exciting traveling exhibit opening at the Muncie Children's Museum, Tuesday, February 17, 2009, "Cool Moves! The Artistry of Motion!"

"Cool Moves" is an engaging exhibition featuring fourteen fun, interactive exhibits that allow you to discover the beauty of motion all around us.

Change the twist of a tornado, swirl water into amazing patterns, create artwork and more at "Cool Moves". Make your way over to the Touchable Tornado and put your hand into the middle of a mini-tornado made of swirling, misty water. Then change the wind speed and see what happens to the motion of the tornado.

See animals swim, fly, jump, and crawl in the most bizarre and breathtaking ways at the "Animals in Motion" display. A computer kiosk allows the visitor to control the speed of videos for different animal motions, including those of frogs, owls, otters, cheetahs, kangaroos, hummingbirds, snakes, and dolphins.

At the "Dancing Wall" station, visitors are encouraged to create a light and sound show by "dancing" in front of a wall that contains multiple lights and speakers that are triggered by motion detectors.

Visitors can create their own piece of art, zoom a strange car down a track and more!

"Cool Moves" will only be at the Muncie Children's Museum until Friday, May 15, so hurry and visit us before it makes its way to another museum!
