Our OUTREACH TO SPACE traveling exhibition was designed by San Francisco’s Exploratorium. Built to withstand the rigors of family experimentation, our exhibits teach children and families about Space and Space travel through hands-on exploration. This traveling exhibition features eleven, stand-alone exhibits, wall banners, expendable parts and set-up instructions. The entire set of exhibits can be easily set up by one person using nothing more than a light hand truck. One exhibit, Different Worlds, Different Weights, allows guests to compare the weight of an apple on Earth against the weight of an apple on other bodies in the Solar System. Another star attraction is Space Colony, which encourages children to use LEGO® brand blocks and a lot of imagination to construct their own visions for the future of space exploration. Children and adults alike enjoy experimenting with Pressure Suit, allowing them to pump air out of the exhibit chamber and to observe two “Bug Out Bob” aliens inside, one fitted with a pressurized helmet and one exposed to the dropping pressure.

Let the Evansville Museum storm into your school or museum with our interactive weather exhibits for a Wild Weather experience your audience won't soon forget! This set nine of exhibits is the perfect supplement for students in grades 4-8 studying the science of weather. Through hands-on interaction, your audience can explore science concepts such as evaporation, condensation, heat, pressure, tornados, electric charges and climate. Your Wild Weather experience springs into action when our Midwest Wild Weather exhibits arrive at your venue. Our weather exhibits are designed to teach important science concepts and also to allow children to experience science in an unforgettable way. Each of our nine exhibits are professionally designed and are interactive.

Each year, the Evansville Museum welcomes thousands of students and teachers from Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois and Southern Kentucky to its galleries.
