New exhibit brings snow inside the Anchorage Museum
Frozen Forms explores the science of show
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Frozen Forms is a new exhibit at the Anchorage Museum that explores the science of snow through hands-on displays and two-story tall models.
Ice crystals are the building blocks of all things snow. They are the size of dust specks, but in this exhibit, they are structures that almost reach the ceiling.
In collaboration with Collective Paper Aesthetics, a design group out of the Netherlands, visitors can now experience the geometry of ice crystals larger than life.
Museum-goers will also have the opportunity to use the same cardboard building blocks to help build a new snow structure.
A lot of math, science and engineering goes into a tiny snowflake.
The exhibit runs through the winter season, ending April 6, 2025. That means when the snow starts to disappear, so does Frozen Forms.
