Mushroom Science (in conjunction with the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering)
March 19
At The New Children’s Museum, we’re experimenting with all of the possibilities that food has to offer through our latest exhibition, Feast: The Art of Playing With Your Food. On March 19, you’ll be able to play inside of Mol_d – the Museum’s one-of-a-kind building block environment made entirely of fungi! Phil Ross, the artist behind Mol_d, has discovered a method of growing mushrooms in molds and curing them so that they provide organic and durable fun. You’ll never look at mushrooms the same way again! Children will have the opportunity to explore different mushroom species by creating mushroom stamp prints in a special workshop in the NCM Art Studio. Plus, you can join us at 2pm for a special mushroom tea tasting!
