Invisible Worlds Immersive Experience

Explore nature’s hidden realms, and discover how all life on Earth is connected in this new immersive experience. Invisible Worlds explores networks of life at all scales—including some that are too fast, too small, or too slow for the human eye. At key moments, you'll become part of the story as your movements affect the projections around you. Before entering the immersive experience, explore the themes that connect life on Earth across thousands of miles, millions of species, and billions of years in the Susan S. and Kenneth Wallach Gallery. Discover why your hand resembles a bat's wing. Find out how organisms interact in ecosystems, including as part of complex food webs. And consider the ultimate social network: cells relaying impulses to neighboring cells in the human brain. Enter the venue at any point in the story to begin your journey through Invisible Worlds, an immersive experience based on authentic scientific data visualized like never before. Visitors stand inside the Invisible Worlds immersive theater, surrounded by projections.
