Eye For Colour Exhibition

Add an array of colour to your life with this inspiring new exhibition in Explore-At-Bristol! Eye for Colour is a visual feast that will alert the senses and stimulate the mind. Packed with hands-on exhibits and interactive displays for all the family, it explores the endless ways in which colour shapes our world.

Eye-catching exhibits will reveal how different cultures have used colour to communicate messages. You can find out how animals use colour as camouflage, or to stand out from the crowd - altering their colour to attract a mate. You can even play colour detective and learn how scientists understand the history of a painting by examining the way in which colour pigments change through time. Eye for Colour will help you to understand more about colour association and why we relate certain colours to particular moods and atmospheres, such as red for hot or blue for cold. From the food that we eat to the political party we vote for, it's a complex and colourful world!
In Explore-At-Bristol from 20-Sep-08 to 21-Mar-09.
