Details announced about 鈥楽cience of Speed鈥�
The Kamin Science Center in Pittsburgh has announced new details about “Science of Speed,” a new immersive experience that is set to open Aug. 1.
The 21,000-square-foot exhibit housed in the former 缅北禁地Works building will feature four signature attractions: a multi-level, all-electric kart track; high-end racing simulators; vintage and modern race cars along with interactive science exhibits; and a racing-inspired lounge known as the Pitt Stop.
One of the four Carnegie Museums, the Kamin Science Center unveiled its new name last September following a $65 million gift from Dan and Carole Kamin and their family. A key component of the rebranding was the announcement of nine new projects and experiences over the next few years that will update more than 75% of the Kamin Science Center’s exhibition spaces and reimagine the future of the museum.
“‘Science of Speed’ is the kind of bold, immersive experience that defines the new era of Kamin Science Center,” said Jason Brown, director of Kamin Science Center. “We’re creating a dynamic educational and entertainment destination – one where sports and science converge, and where the human drive to go faster becomes a gateway to learning. It’s a museum experience unlike anywhere else in the country.”
Additional details about “Science of Speed” ticketing, public programs, private event offerings, and opening celebrations will be announced in the coming weeks.
