IMAS “El Estudio” New Interactive Exhibits

The International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS) is thrilled to announce the opening of its newest interactive exhibition, “El Estudio / The Studio,” a dynamic space where the worlds of art and science collide in a celebration of creativity and discovery. The exhibition officially opens to the public on Saturday, August 31, 2024, with a special early access hour for IMAS Members beginning at 9:00 a.m. that morning.

“El Estudio / The Studio” invites visitors of all ages to explore the fascinating relationship between the science of physics and the art of painting, pigments, and color palettes. This innovative gallery offers a hands-on experience that encourages exploration through light, color, sound, shape, and motion . Visitors can play with light, experiment with sound, design unique patterns, and more, all while discovering how symmetry, geometry, pattern, and composition come together with color, light, movement, and sound to create stunning works of art.

Importance of Play and Exploration

At IMAS, we believe that the act of play is not just for children—it’s a vital aspect of creativity and learning at any age. “El Estudio / The Studio” is designed to ignite the imagination, encouraging both adults and children to engage with art and science in a playful, yet deeply meaningful way. The exhibition underscores the importance of play as a tool for exploration, innovation, and personal expression. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a budding scientist, or simply curious, “El Estudio / The Studio” offers an opportunity to rediscover the joy of creative play and the endless possibilities it brings.

The Studio is designed by creative science and children’s museum exhibit designers Exploratorium (San Francisco) and Sietecolores (Mexico City)
