Learn the truth about common myths and questions, with topics ranging from nature to animals to science and technology at the Simcoe County Museum's newest exhibit: True or False? The Fun Science Exhibition, is on until March 26.
Use taste, touch and smell to determine whether the myth is true or false.
Patrons can test common myths through hands-on, interactive analysis.
True or False? The Fun Science Exhibition is a production of the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science. It was made possible thanks to the financial contribution of the Museum's Assistance Program of Canadian Heritage, the Jardin des animaux, Tim Hortons (Estrie) and Amgen Canada.
