EXHIBITION CONTENT FORMATION OF THE SUN Re-enact the birth of our star through this motiontracking digital interactive. ULTRAVIOLET TORCH GAME A credit card-sized Ultraviolet (UV) torch is given to each visitor. Extra content is placed within the exhibition using invisible ink, and they are only revealed under the glow of the UV torch. SOLAR OBSERVATORY The sun cannot be observed by the human eye, but using this digital interactive you can examine it through different wavelength filters, revealing many surprising features such as sun spots and solar flares. SUNLIGHT GAME A giant board game where visitors play the role of a photon and journey to Earth. Along the way they will discover how crucial sunlight is to life. TITANS OF SPACE Take a virtual-reality tour of our solar system and discover how the Sun compares to the supermassive stars in neighbouring galaxies. LIGHT TABLES Play with mirrors, prisms, lenses, lasers, polarising filters and more to discover the surprising behaviour and properties of light. THE SUN’S BIO A series of interactive stations that describe the characteristics of the Sun: size, temperature, mass, age. SOUNDS OF THE SUN You’ve seen the Sun - but what does it sound like? Climb inside a giant inflatable Sun and find out. THE SPEED OF LIGHT RACE The speed of light is very fast.It takes 1.28 seconds for the light to travel from the Moon to Earth. Race family and friends to see how long it’d take you to reach the moon. SEASONS ORRERY Spin a model of Earth to see how the tilt in Earth’s axis causes changes in climate as the Earth orbits the Sun. THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM The full spectrum of sunlight includes visible light, Radio waves, X-rays and more. Humans have found many technological uses for each part of the spectrum. Explore the spectrum and see examples of electronics that utilise each frequency jump into life around you. STORIES OF THE SUN WHARE Watch the story of how Māui and his brothers captured the Sun and made the length of our days longer. Select stories of the sun from diverse cultures. COLOUR MIXER White light is made up of three colours – red, green and blue. Pose in front of coloured lights with your friends and experience the surprising ways they mix. TOURING EXHIBITION INFORMATION SOLAR FLARES Explore the properties of magnetic fields. Move a magnet on a pivot arm to see the effect on a live feed video image of a special wall-mounted graphic, or your friend’s face. Discover how solar weather is generated by the Sun and see how the Earth’s magnetosphere creates a protective shield from solar storms. DARK ROOM / LIGHT TUNNEL A contemplative space where a soundscape offers echoes of light philosophy. Special lights shine out through dry-ice to create a fascinating, swirling lightshow SOLAR TECH KITS Solar technology can take many different forms and is used in a variety of applications. Play with a set of interactive stations to find out how to best harness the power of sunlight. *Layout reference only Discover the secrets of the Sun TE MANAWA MUSEUM OF ART, SCIENCE AND HISTORY WWW.TEMANAWA.CO.NZ 326 MAIN ST, PALMERSTON NORTH AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND 06-355-5000 QUICK GUIDE Sunlight – Ihi Kōmaru EXHIBITION ______________________________________ 16 interactive exhibits Bilingual: English, Te Reo Māori 1 x 40ft shipping container TARGET AUDIENCE ______________________________________ EXHIBITION OVERVIEW Sunlight – Ihi Kōmaru is a fun, hands-on, interactive touring exhibition that tells the story of sunlight.
