Announcing the Staten Island Children's Museum's Newest Exhibit: SENSORY IMAGING

The Staten Island Children's Museum is excited to share their newest interactive exhibit, Sensory Imaging with their members and visitors. Created to immerse children in multi-sensory exploration, a "magic" screen reacts to children's touch by displaying brilliant bursts of color wherever it's touched. The deeper or firmer the touch, the bigger the burst of color! The exhibit empowers children (of ALL ages!) to experiment with sensory processing. Most of all, it's just plain fun!

The Museum will celebrate Sensory Imaging with a Meet the Artists reception on Saturday, December 17. Exhibit designers/artists Adrian Sas and Inpyo Chang will be on hand to meet visitors, discuss the project and deepen children's connection and understanding of their actions.

Sensory Imaging is a permanent addition to the Museum's collection of interactive, hands-on exhibits and is located near the Museum's front entrance.

Meet the Artists is a free event with Museum admission, no reservations necessary.
