The Science of Oz at the Science
Center of Connecticut
Follow the Yellow Brick Road... or Interstate 84... to the Science Center of Connecticut, in West Hartford, Connecticut, where families will love the special "Science of Oz" exhibit. The exhibit features 15 hands-on experiences for youngsters, who'll come across each as they follow Dorothy and the gang along the Yellow Brick Road. The exhibit is on loan from a museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, through September 20, 1998. According to Hartford Courant Staff Writer Meredith Carlson in a recent article, "One of the most popular spots in the exhibit is a tornado cylinder that simulates the air pressure patterns of a cyclone." You might have a feeling you're not in Connecticut any more!
