Also beginning May 20 is the Cubelets Robot Blocks exhibit, sponsored by Pantex, which allows children to assemble magnetic blocks into robots.
The exhibits last through mid-September. DHDC's summer hours – 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday – will resume May 29.
