This show is about your mind. Listen to your inner voice. Pay attention to your thoughts. Explore your mind
New Exhibit Opens June 15, 2024
Rooted in psychology, MindWorks brings mental processes like decision-making, memory, and emotions to life through colorful, playful, and fun hands-on exhibits. Explore why you think, feel, and react the way you do, and uncover the remarkable power of your mind.
The exhibits are designed to keep you in the moment with reflection questions to explore your thoughts and feelings and personalize your experiences.
Before visitors even enter the Mindworks exhibit their journey has begun. Visitors must choose between three doorways to enter the exhibition. As they walk through, questions and statements encourage them to listen to their inner voice and the dialog with their minds.
The Mindworks exhibit hosts experiential stations where visitors will participate in various scenarios where they will make choices and learn from those choices, a host of things the mind works through to make those choices, and what influences those choices. The exhibit stations include:
- Decision-making process in each different scenario
- Implicit biases concerning our choices and thinking process
- The difference between decisions and habits
- Emotional triggers and how they are reflected in our bodies
- How the brain makes memories meaningful
- Common dreams through an immersive dreamscape
And more!
