It is a pretty new gallery with a variety of interesting inspiring and fun
filled exhibits that unravel some of the principles of mathematics, gravity,
mechanics, aerodynamics, light, sound, hearing, perception and illusion.
Visitors can watch a straight stick passing through a curved path with out any
hindrance. They can play a harmonium and create melodies. By manipulating a
stream of air, they can float a ball in different directions or by
manipulating liquids they can make colorful paintings. They can put their
head on a platter or can see a well whose depth is infinite.
They can play with sympathetic swings in different axes
and can also find how fast they react to sound and
light. |
