Description

The Arizona Science Center's exhibition "The Art and Science of Arachnids" features three different themed “cubes” holding a total of 100 live arachnids. The Science Cube showcases arachnids that are not spiders or scorpions; the Arts Cube illustrates arachnids featured in popular film, literature, and music; and the Culture Cube highlights arachnid folklore and mythology, arachnid conservation, and arachnids as food. This exhibition continues daily (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays) through Jan. 2, 2022. Included with general admission: $19.95; $14.95 for ages 3-17, free for children under age 3. Located in the Freeman Gallery (Level 1) at the Arizona Science Center, 600 E. Washington St., Phoenix. 602-716-2000 or azscience.org
