New York City’s American Museum of Natural History is unveiling a vibrant new exhibit that’s great for the whole family.
Colors of all varieties are seen across various expanses of nature and culture, and this exhibit aims to explore the “why” behind it all. Color is so tightly woven into our lives that we don’t always think about how certain colors are chosen or why they appear the way they do in the natural world.
In an interactive and family-friendly exhibit, the Museum of Natural History takes the curious-minded on a journey through the world of color and pigment.
Museum-goers are welcome to try out a myriad of interactive light shows and tools that help explain how color can change and be manipulated by light. They can also see the wonder of oddly colored creatures and how their vibrancy helps them in their environment.
In a room full of red, color enthusiasts are welcome to behold an elegant work of fashion by designer Brandon Maxwell.
Finally, viewers are taken into the world of skin tones by seeing an assortment of possibilities when it comes to the human race, beautifully portrayed by the work of photographer Angelica Dass.
Museum President Ellen V. Futter said in a statement, “Color is all around us, shaping our emotions, our actions, and our surroundings, yet we often take it for granted. This immersive exhibition will explore the role and power of color in the natural world, in human cultures, and in our personal lives.”
The exhibit opens March 9.
