About
A science and craft workshop about tiger's eye, the gold-and-brown stone whose shiny band seems to move as you tilt it. Kids start in the museum's Minerals Hall, hunting for the stone with magnifying glasses and microscopes and comparing it with other samples. Then they make a decorated tiger mask, and each child goes home with a tiger's eye pebble to tilt in the light.
