Description

Mirrors, arguably the first “virtual reality” technology, lie at the intersection of nature, culture, and self-recognition. Once small, rare, and coveted items owned only by the wealthy, today mirrors are as common as a pencil and are key to many modern tools, from HDTVs to solar-power plants and space telescopes. Although ubiquitous, their charms remain beguiling and their physics compelling. Find out more about mirrors—and, more generally, the nature of reflections—through the museum’s rich collection of exhibits and special one-night-only art installations, lectures, and activities.
