Nashville, TN, March 28 - Early this summer, Adventure Science Center will unveil a major overhaul to Wonders of the Universe, a popular exhibit gallery on the second floor.

Wonders of the Universe will also feature a life-sized comparison of NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes, showcasing their contributions to space exploration.
An invitation-only preview reception with an esteemed panel of hosts will be held on Wednesday, May 29. Wonders of the Universe will open to the general public on Saturday, June 1 at 9:00 am. Access is included in the cost of general admission.
With more details forthcoming, this significant redesign kicks off the start of more exciting updates to Nashville's only science and technology center.
