MICROBES: Invisible Invaders, Amazing Allies (5,000 and 3,000 sq. ft. versions)

INVISIBLE INVADERS TAKE OVER AMERICA: Traveling Exhibit Takes Mystery Out of Microbes

A traveling exhibition is taking children on an interactive journey through the hidden world of microbes. "Microbes: Invisible Invaders... Amazing Allies" uncovers a mysterious universe of microscopic organisms—from those that sustain life on Earth to those that threaten our health and even our existence.

The interactive, 5,000-square-foot exhibit reveals what microbes are (bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa - "germs" to most people), explores a history of infectious diseases and shows how researchers and individuals fight infection worldwide.

Kid-friendly technology highlights hands-on activities. In addition to interactive displays featuring virtual reality and 3-D animation, theatrical sets and special effects bring microbes to life.

The exhibit is sponsored by Pfizer Inc and produced by Clear Channel Exhibitions in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
