"Microbes: Invisible Invaders... Amazing Allies” will begin touring Asia-Pacific markets beginning in Fall 2005. The exhibit will open in Singapore March 31, 2005 at Singapore Science Center, and will appear through the end of June.
The successful exhibitions takes children on an interactive journey through the hidden world of microbes, uncovering a mysterious universe of microscopic organisms—from those that sustain life on Earth to those that threaten our health and even our existence. The interactive, 5,000-square-foot exhibit reveals what microbes are (bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa - "germs" to most people), explores a history of infectious diseases and shows how researchers and individuals fight infection worldwide.
Kid-friendly technology highlights hands-on activities. In addition to interactive displays featuring virtual reality and 3-D animation, theatrical sets and special effects bring microbes to life.
The exhibit’s North American tour was sponsored by Pfizer Inc and produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
