New Exhibit -Night Journeys: An Adventure in the
World of Sleep and Dreams Through September 12
Be among the first visitors to take a fascinating journey through the world of bedtime rituals and routines and into the nighttime experience of sleep and dreams. Visitors enter into a whimsical bedroom setting where they are introduced to sleeping places from many parts of the world. Lie down on an ancient Egyptian bed, try out a headrest from Japan or Somalia or carry dolls using a Mexican rebozo. Peek into unusual sleeping places, shine giant flashlights under the bed to scare away the monsters and explore bedtime rituals from around the world.
Visitors continue their journey into the world of sleep and dreams by exploring the “active” state of sleep in an animated video that shows eye movement, body movement and brain activity during sleep. Next, compare some of your dreams to those of both children and adults and see what they mean. Explore different approaches to dream interpretation by people around the world. Learn about dream books from China, feed a bad dream to Baku—the Japanese dream eater and see how a family in Malaysia shares their dreams over breakfast. All Ages. Free with museum admission.
What on Earth?
Monday through Friday from 2-4 p.m.
Join us in Our Backyard as we discover new ways to explore our natural world. Learn fun ways to help the environment, enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences and try your hand at cooking, crafts and other science activities. All ages. Free with museum admission. Weather permitting.
This program is made possible by a generous grant from National Grid in support of LICM’s Green Teens initiative. Green Teens is an environmental education program that trains high school students to become outdoor educators as they develop and implement weekly green-themed workshops for young children.
