CraftKids asks students to explore the interplay between form and function in craft through carefully looking at the Museum’s collection and temporary exhibitions. Through a 60-minute session, students are introduced to craft by
considering the role it plays in their daily lives. Tours are inquiry- and discussion-based, guiding students as they learn to look at objects in new and meaningful ways. Thematic tours focus on materials, process, identity in craft, positive and negative space, and more.

Reservations are required a minimum of two weeks in advance. Please provide the requested date and time, contact name, contact information, as well as the number and grade level of students.

OMSI welcomes visitors to Einstein, the most comprehensive presentation ever displayed on the life and theories of the man who many consider the most important figure of the 20th century. Albert Einstein changed the world and our understanding of it: his Special Theory of Relativity paved the way to unleashing atomic energy; his work on the photoelectric effect led directly to the development of vacuum tubes and integrated circuits, and eventually to the computer revolution; and his explanation of Brownian motion created a new understanding of the size and shape of molecules that ultimately helped to unlock the secrets of DNA.

Experience a unique, multi-faceted view of Einstein that melds his personal life, his science, and his era. Interactive displays, personal letters, artifacts, original manuscripts, and learning labs will shed new light on this remarkable man’s contributions to our understanding of the world.

Einstein reinterpreted the inner workings of nature: the very essence of light, time, energy, and gravity. While his insights fundamentally changed the way we look at the Universe and our role in it, many people may not know that he was also an outspoken humanitarian and a passionate anti-war activist. Organized by New York’s AmericanMuseum of Natural History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the SkirballCulturalCenter in Los Angeles, Einstein offers a fully integrated look at the man behind the complex and brilliant mind.
