POPnology at The Grand Rapids Public Museum (May 22nd - January 30th 2022)
POPnology is a fully immersive exhibit that will take visitors through over a dozen interactive elements that help create a connection between pop culture and technology. Visitors will then have the opportunity to explore and see how technology has been included by movies, books, television, art, and futurists. Four featured areas explore science and technology in our everyday lives, where we’ve been, and where we’re going: How We Play, How We Connect, How We Move, and How We Live & Work. Visit this exhibit during your stay at The Holiday Inn Grand Rapids this June through the end of the year!
