GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM Sachs: CAN'T TOUCH THIS, SPACE PROGRAM MARS

This entrance sign appears loose and fun


but then there is this part of the sign...       


See the 'don't touch' sign middle left side?


Oh and by the way they are super serious, you are not going to touch anything!
You can sit in the chairs







Someone touched this



We really do like this show, but were really thrown by the non-touchiness of it, especially the kid, because it looks like it would be touchable. Also important to mention, if you decide to go, make sure you have enough time to go to the indoctrination station (I was told 45 minutes to get through the process) which allows you more access and the demonstrations only happen on predetermined dates; which I'm sure enhances the experience. 

Demos take place June 7th at 8pm or June 16th in which a marathon of demos will take place all day. Also noted Tuesdays 4pm to 7pm are free admission. More information at Tom Sachs official web site and family program info can be found at The Armory site.

Through June 17th...let the count down begin.

  1. I'm sure the 'non-touchiness' of it all is for the good of the exhibit. It is a family event after all, and kids are bound to want to touch anything and everything, even with a sign present, because it's all just so fascinating. Tom Sachs sure did an excellent job with this, I was definitely impressed when I went.
