Water’s Extreme Journey, a new exhibit now open through August 24 at San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM), features a maze and interactive activities highlighting the challenges of keeping our water clean. Visitors will experience the watershed as a water drop, exploring firsthand the science behind the water cycle. Created by the marine life artist Robert Wyland and Seattle-based Minotaur Mazes, Water’s Extreme Journey blends art, science, and action.
The Water’s Extreme Journey maze transforms visitors into a raindrop and sends them on a journey through mountains, streams, and even their own backyards, where every day decisions impact their chance of staying clean and reaching a healthy ocean.
While investigating winding pathways, visitors are challenged to navigate through pollutants originating from agriculture, development, litter, and our homes. Will the farm they pass by be organic? Did someone pour leftover paint down the drain? This fully interactive maze experience engages visitors through play, scientific inquiry, art and action, illuminating human impacts great and small while teaching how to contribute to healthy, safe water in their community and beyond.
