There was a recent article that mentioned that the public could get free eclipse glasses at their local library.  As a result, we have received a number of questions from library members interested in receiving eclipse viewing glasses.  Every location hosting the Science Museum Oklahoma Eclipse Party program in the month of August is receiving 100 eclipse viewing glasses.  Locations not hosting that program can still request eclipse viewing glasses by emailing me.    If your location is hosting the Eclipse Party hand out the viewing glasses at the program, one per person.  Any viewing glasses left over after that program may be handed out as you see fit.  Here is a link to the event calendar for the eclipse programs.

Last night the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center opened its latest exhibit, Coded Couture.  This exhibit features the work of 10 international artist-designers who have combined fashion with computer coding.  The result is stunning and includes a dress that acts as a lie detector, clothes that moves to follow the eyes of the observer, and jewerly with unique textures created by using 3D printed tissue.

As promised during the presentation last week, I wanted to keep everyone up-to-date on our progress as we finalize the details for each of the departments that will be relocating over the course of the next two months. We have finalized the plans for the first tier of Department moves. The table below summarizes the schedule for next week.  Each department has received a detailed checklist that explains the timeline of events (see attached for a template).
