Joy, anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and everything in between. Mixed Emotions invites families to get curious about feelings through playful, hands-on experiences that turn abstract ideas into something you can explore, play with, and talk about.

See what happens inside your brain and body when you laugh or cry. Flip through the Emotipedia to discover new feelings from across the globe. Play a game of emotional charades with your friends and family. Mixed Emotions is built around the idea that the more we practice social-emotional skills, the stronger they become.

Whether you come in laughing, grumpy, shy, or somewhere in between, this exhibit will meet you where you are.
