MEMPHIS—MoSH, the Memphis Museums of Science and History, has announced a new exhibit at the Pink Palace Museum & Mansion.

 

“Earth Matters: Rethink the Future” will be open Tuesdays-Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. beginning January 25 through May 18.

“We’re really excited for this exhibit and how it demonstrates—to even our youngest of museum-goers—that the smallest of actions can have a big impact on our natural world,” said MoSH Executive Director Kevin Thompson.

“As you explore Earth Matters, look out for the connections between our natural elements, solve complex challenges, and push your own ideas to new heights,” Thompson continued. “Then, rethink a more sustainable future—starting in your own backyard.”

Visitors can experience the inner workings of a tree, listen and learn about endangered species and experience large-scale visualizations of changes taking place in our natural world. An interactive 3D projection map of a coral reef visually demonstrates changes in its ecosystem in response to a visitor’s everyday decisions. In other exhibits, a mechanical pump demonstrates how much water is used in the production of a single chocolate bar and other popular lifestyle consumables.

Created by the renowned Scitech in Perth, Australia and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Earth Matters features thought-provoking and fully interactive exhibits, covering topical themes such as biodiversity, rising global temperatures, and carbon emissions across an informative journey that will inspire visitors to find new answers to big questions.

Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Scitech to bring Earth Matters to the Pink Palace Museum & Mansion. Earth Matters is a great way for families to spark their creativity and find STEM-based solutions for real-world challenges, making the world a better place in the process.”
