FORT WAYNE — Running now through Jan. 3, Science Central will be home to a special touring exhibition entitled, “Amazing Maize.”  This temporary exhibition explores the science and history behind the ancient grain we call corn.

This exhibition is unique in that it is actually two separate exhibits, which the science center has brought together to run simultaneously, both of which explore different aspects of corn.

“Maize: Mysteries of an Ancient Grain” focuses primarily on the history and development of corn as an organism throughout history.

The second exhibit is titled “The A-Maize-ing Popcorn Adventure.”  This is a popcorn themed maze where visitors will learn about the history and production of popcorn.

“We’re excited to bring these two closely-themed exhibitions to Science Central. While one is fairly technical and geared towards older students and adults, the other is fun and perfect for our younger visitors.” said Martin S. Fisher, executive director at Science Central.
