Check Out The Science Museum of Virginia’s Newest Exhibit Identity: An Exhibition of You

Challenge your perception of personal identity. Discover the connection between our thoughts and relationships to our genes, brains, and all things scientific!

Designed with a clean, modern sensibility, the exhibition creates an environment to explore their own identity –personalizing the experience and making it unique for each guest. Change elements of a common’s children tune to uncover what your tastes in music reveal about your personality. Examine your fingertip and discover that although the pattern is genetic, the ridges are not!

Step inside of a thought cone and hear the inner thoughts of people with personalities similar to yours. Can you tell if people are related simply by looks? Try matching up families in a mix-and-match activity and find out! Learn about genetics, psychology and biological identity as you see yourself from new perspectives in the interactive experience suited for guests of all ages.

Identity opens October 18th and runs through January 4th.  It is free with museum admission.
