New exhibit
Minnetrista’s newest exhibit — Animationland — opens on Jan. 25.
Developed and produced by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Animationland offers a fully immersive, interactive exhibit where guests learn to incorporate animation skills into the creation process.
This enables visitors to understand the interplay that occurs between art and science and how they can apply those skills to tell their own stories in unique and dynamic ways, Minnetrista spokesmen said.
The exhibit focuses on the basics of the animation process using interactive features including a sketching studio, a sound effects booth and the opportunity to plan and star in a stop-motion production.
“Animationland is a vibrant, whimsical place where kids and adults can get lost in the creative process, even if they’ve never thought of themselves as artists,” said Catherine Diaz, exhibit business development manager at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
Animationland is on view from Jan. 25 to May 3. Minnetrista is located at 1200 N. Minnetrista Parkway, Muncie.
