Acton Discovery Museum - Light and Color Exhibit
Scientists of all ages can immerse themselves in this vividly engaging exhibit gallery on the properties of light and color. A series of hands-on exhibits in a specially-designed darkened space use LEDs and new materials to create dramatic, high contrast, and aesthetically beautiful light and color.

Light Lens
Both children and adults delight in manipulating rays of light with mirrors and lenses to focus, reflect, and mix them to create various effects.
Pendulux
Museum visitors swing a light pendulum suspended over a rotating platter of phosphorescent material to produce a beautiful array of “Spirograph” patterns. Experimenters can change the swing of the pendulum or the speed of the rotating platter and see what happens! (Photo courtesy Kristin Angel)
