Spin: The Science of Rotation

Introducing our newest travelling exhibit Spin: The Science of Rotation, brought to you in collaboration with the Catawba Science Center in Hickory, NC. Spin is an exciting exhibit that explores the fun-and science-of objects that rotate. A truly hands-on exhibit, Spin uses real-life cause and effect examples of the spinning science of toys, sports, space travel, and even the Universe itself!

Patrons local to the area might recognize Spin as a popular exhibit from the Health Adventure, which shared its home in Pack Place with the Colburn Museum of Minerals from 1992-2013. Thanks to this partnership between AMOS and Catawba to revitalize and update the exhibits, Spin is now making a “comeback” to downtown Asheville! On view now through Spring 2026.
