Science Under The Big Top

STEP RIGHT UP, ONE AND ALL!!

Is it a Circus McGurkis or Science Defiance?

Experience the wonders to behold as your Manitoba Museum combines the mysteries of the Big Top with the scrutiny of science.

It’s CIRCUS! SCIENCE UNDER THE BIG TOP. The funky new exhibit opens October 7th and features a stupendous collection of multi-station interactive exhibits.

With your museum admission, you will witness acts like Elastic Acrobatics, Animal Communications, Ballyhoo Silhouette, Human Cannonballs and more including:

The High Wire
Don’t tip the scales! Test your balancing abilities at our high wire exhibit or bear witness from below as visitors attempt to walk the nine-foot-high cable. Strap into the harness and summon your inner calm as you attempt daring feat of concentration and determination.
 
Diavolo Spectacle
The cyclist Daredevil Diavolo comes under study in this exhibit, as visitors will apply the rules of math and physics to test the daring, yet creative, stunt ideas. It’s exciting to dream big, but ultimately science will determine

Sword Swallower
Can you stomach the sight of a 22-inch sword swallowing challenge? At this station, visitors will be able to command and control the movement of a sword swallower and see the action unfold (hopefully not the sword too) inside the body where spectators can follow the path of the blade inside the body via fluoroscopic video.

October 7th. Mark the date. It’s the amazing CIRCUS! at the Manitoba Museum
