Break This Exhibit
Exhibit designers and builders spend a lot of effort devising ways for exhibition
components to withstand the use and abuse of millions of visitors. But might understanding how things fall apart offer valuable
experiences? Stacking blocks until they topple, blowing things up, watching sandcastles crumble, unleashing a model tornado
or earthquake could be incredibly effective ways of provoking scientific curiosity. What exhibit experience would you imagine
in a "Museum of Breakage and Error"? How might such an experience be managed?
