EVENTOS ESPECIALES 

New science exhibitions: “Taping Shape” and “Zoo in You: The Human Microbiome”
Saturday, Jan. 30

Two new exhibitions will open at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center (1875 El Prado, Balboa Park).

“Taping Shape” presents an indoor landscape with a maze of rooms and tunnels made of hundreds of rolls of packing tape. Visitors can climb, slide and explore the exhibit and concepts of architecture, engineering, sound and more. This exhibition was developed at the science center with local artist and engineer David Ghilarducci. It will feature accompanying hands-on exhibits and interactives. “Taping Shape” will be open through June 12.

Also opening today will be “Zoo in You: The Human Microbiome” where visitors can explore the complex world of our microbiome — “a dynamic, adaptable and delicately balanced ecosystem like any other found in nature.” The exhibition will explore how trillions of microbes inside our body affect us. “Zoo in You” was created in partnership by the J. Craig Venter Institute, a local biotech research company, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. This exhibition will run through May 8.

Visita RHFleet.org for more information and tickets to the science center.
