Beyond Rubik’s Cube Exhibition Opens at Adventure Science Center This Saturday, June 2

Exasperating, exhilarating, marvelous, and maddening, Rubik's Cube has fascinated people around the world since its inception. Witness its power when the internationally acclaimed Beyond Rubik's Cube exhibition opens at Adventure Science Center on Saturday, June 2. Read all the latest news.

Through highly interactive physical and digital challenges, guests will explore how Rubik's Cube emerged from a workshop in Communist-era Hungary to become a worldwide phenomenon, fostering creativity across the fields of science, technology, engineering, robotics, the visual arts, music, film, architecture, and mathematics.

The $5 million exhibition was designed by Liberty Science Center with lead creative partner Google, and the Cube's Budapest inventor Ernő Rubik. It debuted at LSC in Jersey City, NJ, in April 2014 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the world's bestselling puzzle toy.

"Finding ways to showcase innovation is always at the core of our mission. We want to provide experiences you can't find anywhere else, and Beyond Rubik's Cube offers the chance to do just that. It's fun for kids and adults, especially those who grew up during the worldwide phenomenon that Rubik's Cube launched many years ago and that continues today," said Steve Hinkley, Adventure Science Center President & CEO. "We're thrilled to bring this new hands-on exhibition to the Nashville community to give our guests a new way to actively engage with science, technology, engineering, and math using a toy they know and love."

As guests enter the exhibition, digital projections of color and geometry dance in response to their movement, setting the tone for the immersive experience that awaits them in three discovery zones: Invent, Play, and Inspire.

INVENT inspires guests to jump right into the complex and compelling world of puzzle toys with rare artifacts that show the origins of the Cube, a build-your-own puzzle challenge using 3D shapes, and an interactive touch table where guests can create visually stunning patterns.

PLAY offers more opportunities for hands-on exploration through an animated cube-solving guide, computer programming and robots, and even a color match game for the youngest guests.

INSPIRE encourages guests to experience the Cube's vast artistic and technological influence. From controlling a giant mechanical Rubik's Cube to engineering a musical masterpiece, guests will celebrate the Cube as a muse, metaphor, and pop culture icon.
Beyond Rubik's Cube will be on display at Adventure Science Center through Sept. 3, 2018.
