This interactive exhibit seeks to educate visitors about the importance of snow and the vital role it plays in the global climate system. Guests can experience an immersive snowstorm with giant interactive snow crystals, make snowflakes grow from specks to complex six-sided crystals, and listen to oral histories about snow from Iñupiat elders and culture bearers.
Snow is one of three special traveling exhibits on view this fall along with The Fragile Bee and FIND WHY: Vanishing Rhino.
Snow was developed and produced by OMSI as part of a collaborative project led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks and funded by the National Science Foundation.
