The museum's 39 current exhibits include the three special exhibits listed below.

Diabetes: A Deeper Look
This highly participatory exhibit allows visitors to better understand this growing epidemic and find out more about available treatment options. Step through a giant cell, walk into a 40-foot blood vessel, and witness dramatic visualizations of insulin treatments to gain a sense of the challenges that people with diabetes face to maintain their blood sugar levels. Activity stations with real exercise equipment and a playful "Rappin' Refrigerator" help emphasize how diet and exercise can help keep the disease at bay. Learn more.

LaserLab
Harness the power of a laser and learn to bend it around corners with this high-tech exhibit that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the laser's invention. Visitors of all ages can explore not only how these power-packed beams of light work, but also how their technology impacts our everyday lives. With several interactive components, this exhibit playfully demonstrates fundamentals of a technology that has long captured our imaginations. Learn everything you need to know in order to take on fellow visitors in a game of laser foosball, guide a laser beam through a labyrinth, and more. Learn more.

Race: Are We Different
Learn the story of race from biological, cultural, and historical points of view — through interactive components, historical artifacts, compelling photographs, and multimedia presentations. The RACE Project explains the differences among people and reveals the reality — and unreality — of race, while encouraging visitors to engage in discussion about how race continues to shape our lives today.
