Stereoscope

Look through a stereoscope at dozens of 19th century photos to see the world in VR as the Pond family saw it. Then make your own thaumatrope to take home. 

Behold the optical illusion of superimposed images that intrigued families in the 1800s.

Free program for all ages. Materials provided. No registration required. Drop in any time during the 3-hour event.
