Hey Intern: Discovery Place

charlottein2012.com/ - Charlotte's Discovery Place takes the glass casing off the ordinary science museum and brings the nuts and bolts of biology, chemistry, and physics into the hands of museum-goers. Whether it's traversing the rainforest exhibit, exploring the law of physics in an interactive lab, or seeing a movie at the Charlotte Observer IMAX Dome, there is something to draw everyone's interest.

The facility opened its doors in 1981 and has since grown into being one of Charlotte's most popular interactive learning centers for kids and adults alike. In recent years, the museum has held international showcases such as Mummies of the World, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Body Worlds, among many others.

In addition to its daytime operations, the museum has also been used as a venue for events. During September, it will be one of the 12 Charlotte-area venues that will host Delegate Welcome Parties before the 2012 Democratic National Convention. The museum will open on Labor Day during CarolinaFest, and residents and visitors alike are encouraged to come and see all Discovery Place has to offer.
