Family & Friends Workshop: Holograms & 3D Perception

How is it possible for our eyes and brain to perceive depth when viewing a flat surface?

Explore several types of 3D effects, including some that are often confused with holograms, and learn what's special about holograms like those in our Optiker exhibition. Then create your own hologram of a small object! Choose from items provided or bring your own (< 2 inches tall, smooth or shiny objects work best).

This workshop is designed for anyone age 11 and up; participants under 14 must be with an adult. Workshop prices include museum admission.

$25 for adults, $20 for college students and youth ages 11-18.
