Cincinnati Museum Center

This magnificent façade had quite the week last week, eh? Happy #TerminalTuesday from the view that will simply never get old. ❤

We lost a treasured member of our museum family with the recent passing of our dear Karen Venetian. For more than 26 years, “Miss Karen” was part of our Programs-on-Wheels team, bringing fun, educational and engaging experiences to schools, libraries and parks throughout our region. Whether sharing fascinating information about dinosaurs, showcasing her love and knowledge of Cincinnati history or encouraging our innovation and invention skills just like her (Miss Karen designed the Fisher-Price Play Family School!), she was sure to leave everyone she met inspired and full of joy. As we mourn the loss of our vibrant and beloved colleague, we rejoice in knowing that her legacy will live on in the many thousands of students and teachers who met Miss Karen.

We’re feeling mighty artsy on this rainy Tuesday. Today’s #TerminalTuesday comes from Austin Holt! To get a print of your own and to peruse their others, visit https://lnkd.in/epYKhJvR.

Attention! Calling all humans! Try your hand at laparoscopy, see how your muscles move as you do and so much more while you explore and learn about nine different body systems in our newest permanent exhibit Advancing Health presented by Mayfield Brain & Spine. This new exhibit space is all about inspiring the next generation of medical workers in part by showcasing the work of local medical professionals. So last week, we had some of the individuals that are featured IN the exhibit drop by to check it all out for the first time, and it was so fun to see them experience the space their work has inspired. And now, it’s officially open for everyone to learn more about their bodies and how to best maintain their health. We’re elated to finally invite you in so, without further ado, see you soon? Advancing Health is located across from The Cave plaza in the Museum of Natural History & Science.

In The Children’s Museum, home is where the fun is. Has your kiddo had a chance to check out our new playhouse? Revamped by Fischer Homes, the Welcome Home playhouse has a whole new look with new appliances, a fresh coat of paint, herbs you can smell and so much more!

The party of the year is officially on the calendar! Join us on Friday, November 8 at 7 p.m. for Layers of Innovation presented by Atomic Data. Your ticket to this adults-only night includes after-hours access to our exhibits, delicious food and drinks from some of your favorite local vendors, epic programming and a dance floor to shake it all off before you head home.
