How does water shape our world?
What lives in these waters, nests in these banks, and grows on these shores?
What impact does my community have on the river? What impact does my family have? What impact do I have – personally, (and, for the next generation of Pittsburghers), through my choices?
Rooftop Infrared Camera – Rooftop infrared cameras capture river surface temperatures as well as temperatures of downtown buildings.
Virtual Watershed – Create virtual hills and valleys with sand, make it “rain,” and then observe the behavior of the virtual streams, lakes, and pools that are created.
Bernoulli Beach Balls – Make beach balls float on air instead of water. It’s not magic—it’s science!
Field Station – See live animals who call this region their home, such as fish, turtles, snakes, and frogs.
Children and adults will enjoy stunning views of Pittsburgh’s three rivers inside the exhibition gallery, while gaining a deeper appreciation for water conservation. Pittsburgh’s waterways are a vital resource, and with global water access affecting one in eight people, this exhibit is a reminder to be mindful of our water usage in everyday life. Located in the Covestro Gallery, H2Oh! is the perfect place for science exploration in Pittsburgh.
Explore the human-environment relationship and the importance of conserving water through interactive exhibits.
The web of life comes alive with swimming, hopping, and slithering animals native to Western Pennsylvania. Field Station showcases the delicate balance between life and water on Earth.
See how Pittsburgh’s location at the confluence of the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers helped its rise as the Steel City.
