Ever wondered why a wheel is shaped the way it is, or why a pizza and the sun are both round? Have you noticed that flat circles and three-dimensional globes are found everywhere in nature, from an orange to an eye to a compass? What makes circularity so common and yet so special? Secrets of Circles will answer these questions through activities rich in math, science, engineering, and art — because circles are as beautiful as they are functional!

The Children’s Museum of Houston reveals Secrets of Circles, a highly interactive new exhibit which allows you to discover the marvels of circles in nature and in cultures around the world.

Enter a multi-circular land filled with rich colors, stunning bamboo plywood, artifacts from different peoples and eras, and, of course, circles!  Secrets of Circles features a whopping 16 stations that appeal to a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. Quite simply put, circles make the world go round.  Come look a-round!
