After Dark: Living Things

Sometimes life is hard to observe because it's too tiny or too fast, or hidden underground or in the ocean. Tonight at After Dark, we'll turn the spotlight onto our Living Systems gallery (Gallery 4), where you're invited to use scientific tools to investigate living things of different sizes, the ecosystems they inhabit, and the processes they share. Explore exhibits that explore the phenomena of the natural world—from marine organisms like phytoplankton to human cells. And don't miss special demos from our Bio Lab team: catch a close-up glimpse of the often-invisible aspects of living things.

Please note: Food and drinks will be available to purchase in our Seaglass Restaurant and enjoy there or outdoors in Gallery 5 during After Dark.

Just for Tonight
Cell Phone Miniscope
6:00–10:00 p.m.

Tonight we invite you to open your eyes to the amazing world of the ultra-tiny! Be sure to grab a cellscope kit and directions—and then convert your cell phone into a portable, picture-taking miniscope using a simple plastic lens from a laser pointer. Use it tonight to see the Exporatorium at its smallest scale, then take it home to continue exploring new environments!

DJ Sake-One
from Hip Hop for Change
6:30–7:45 and 8:15–9:30 p.m.

Born and raised in the culture of hip-hop, DJ Sake-One joins us tonight at After Dark.
