Thinkery21: Transformations

Grown ups can enjoy an evening at Thinkery on their own. At Thinkery21 we close the museum to kids and let adults, ages 21 and up, eat, drink and mingle while experiencing innovative science and art.

From large scale shifts to microscopic mutations, transformation can be sudden, slow, superficial or incredibly profound. (And sometimes, all of the above.) At Thinkery21: Transformations, take a look at change as a whole and explore transformations on a personal level and in the world around us. Come with an open mind, and don’t be afraid to transform the way you look at the world.
