Join the Ackland Art Museum at the UNC Science Expo, hosted by the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center!
Find us at our booth for hands-on art-making activities inspired by STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) objectives. Explore the connections between creativity and science through interactive crafts!
Afterward, take a short walk over to the Ackland Art Museum to see how STEAM meets art in our galleries. In Ackland Upstairs, visit the Synthetic Chemistry Lab’s art bay to learn how UNC Chapel Hill students collaborated with the Museum to uncover the science of blue pigments in artworks. Admission is always free, and we are open Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
UNC Science Expo is part of the annual North Carolina Science Festival and is one of the biggest celebrations of science in the state! For more information, visit Morehead Planetarium’s site https://moreheadplanetarium.org/program/expo/
