The Explorium, Lexington’s children’s museum, announces a new EyePlay™ interactive exhibit, Let’s Move. The interactive exhibit, which opened to the public November 8, combines intuitive human body motion with floor spaces. Children can move, hop, twist and dance, using their hands and feet to activate sounds and colorful graphics projected on the floor.

The exhibit was made possible by funding from the Explorium of Lexington and presenting sponsor Lexington Clinic Foundation and the Dr. James L. Stambaugh Fund.  Two custom interactive programs were created with the funding to engage children in learning about the human eye. 

The Let’s Move exhibit and EyePlay™ technology provide a revolutionary way to present captivating content to young audiences while engaging in fun, exciting and innovate ways.  Children can enjoy endless hours of fun and smiles when they pop balloons, play the piano or challenge their friends to a game of virtual soccer.  Let’s Move is the first of many new exhibits the Explorium plans to introduce. In addition, the Explorium also has exhibits on nutrition, homes, water, as well as, an open art studio, and even a bubble room.

The Explorium of Lexington is a not-for-profit organization, 501(c)3 and is funded in part by:
Kentucky Arts Council  

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports the Explorium with state tax dollars and federal funding
from the National Endowment for the Arts.
