Informed by research from the Darrin Fresh Water Institute & The Jefferson Project at Lake George, World of Plankton connects science, art, and play.

The exhibit features a giant digital touch table where players capture and explore phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish, plus interact with 3D printed resin sculptures of plankton. #plankton #ecology #museum
