On June 2 and 3, programming from New York’s World Science Festival will make its debut at the Michigan Science Center. Now in its 11th year, the World Science Festival takes science out of the laboratory and into the streets, parks, museums, and galleries of cities around the world.

The program will be shown live from New York in the Toyota Engineering 4D Theater from 3-4 p.m. Seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

World Science Festival programming continues at the Michigan Science Center on June 3, 1:30-2:30 p.m. in the Toyota Engineering 4D Theater. With paid general admission, guests will experience a live stream of the Flame Challenge program, a contest that challenges scientists all over the world to explain a basic scientific concept simply and clearly.

Paid general admission to the Michigan Science Center is $14 for adults and $11 for children. More information is available at Mi-Sci.org.

image: TM 2018 Lucasfilm Ltd. All rights reserved

May the 4th (and FREE) be with you! 

Join other Metro Detroiters on the Woodward Ave. steps of the Detroit Institute of Arts dressed as your favorite Star Wars character for a galactic-sized group photo to celebrate Star Wars Day and the lead-up to the May 20 opening of Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume at the museum.

The first 200 costumed attendees will receive 2 free exhibition tickets to the new DIA exhibit "Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume" (up to $45 value). 

The photo will take place promptly at 6:20 p.m. Fans who arrive after the photo is taken can still collect an exhibition ticket until 200 pairs are given away. Attendees must arrive in costume to be eligible for free tickets. After the photo, fans are invited to visit the museum, which is open until 10 p.m.

Costumes are encouraged for the outdoor photo, but masks, lightsabers, and other weaponry are not permitted INSIDE the museum, should fans want to visit after the photo. To protect DIA artwork, full face paint is also prohibited, but a limited amount of face paint (for example, a design around the eye or cheek) is allowed. You can check your weaponry and masks at the coat check counters located at the museum's Woodward and Farnsworth entrances, or you can return them to your car.

Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume, on view May 20–September 30, 2018, examines the captivating process of costume design for iconic outfits featured in the first seven films of the Star Wars saga—from Queen Amidala’s lavish gowns to Darth Vader’s imposing black armor. Explore the artistry of the world’s most recognized cinematic costumes, like Princess Leia, Stormtroopers, Chewbacca and droids, including C-3PO and R2-D2.
