The exhibit was created by Discovery Communications and Exhibits Development Group, in partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago and Geoffrey M. Curley + Associates. It will run at MSI through Sept. 3, 2012.
In the Discovery Channel TV series MythBusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman bring their expertise in special effects—along with co-hosts Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara and Kari Byron—to relentlessly bust or confirm myths through the scientific method. Co-hosts Adam and Jamie were heavily involved throughout the development of the exhibition to ensure guests receive a true MythBusting experience, but if you think you need to know the show to get into the exhibit action, that’s the first myth to bust. MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition will show everyone—even MythBusting newbies—how to uncover the truth behind some of science’s popular myths and have a great time while doing it.
In the exhibit, guests learn about science myths, the MythBusters and what experimentation is all about by participating in a series of fun, hands-on experiences and live demonstrations.
Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. , the exhibit will officially open to the public at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago in true MythBusters style with a very unique ribbon-cutting ceremony—featuring all five of the show’s hosts including Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. Following the opening, from 11 a.m. – noon, all five of the show’s hosts will autograph cast photos.
