GALLERY EXHIBITS
High Wire Bicycle
Pedal a bicycle balanced on a 1-inch steel cable, suspended 30 feet
above the ground! The longest high wire bike in a U.S. museum. Guests
will be harnessed into the bike and can ride across a 98-foot-long
cable suspended 30 feet above the ground.
As death defying as this may sound, it's actually quite safe as
the bike is counterweighted. However, a safety net is placed below
the ride to set riders' minds at ease. As MOSI's InterActors will
explain, the laws of physics make it impossible to fall off.
Are you ready for the challenge?
The Diplodocus Dinosaurs
MOSI is one of a handful of museums in the world to display one
of the largest articulated dinosaurs ever discovered. Sauropods
were the colossus of their age, some tipping the scales at a full
forty tons. Despite their massive size, they had only a tiny brain
- the smallest brain in relation to its bulk of any vertebrate.
They were plant eaters and their long necks enabled them to pick
food from high in the trees where others couldn't reach. Their long
tails helped to balance their very long necks, making it possible
for some to reach as high as five stories. The sauropods that occupy
MOSI's lobby reach three stories with a total combined length of
approximately 150 feet.
