Programming - Sunday
 

Here are the fantastic programs we have planned for Sunday. Programs and presenters subject to change.

 

Special Exhibitions of Kinetic and Figural Art

The convention coincides with no less than four temporary exhibitions of direct interest, and the personal forces behind these shows will be in attendance at AutomataCon.  Anytime during the course of the event, you are encouraged to stroll about and experience this.  Full descriptions, please see www.morrismuseum.org, under “On View”  – Current and Upcoming.

 

Spark!Lab (time-stamped ticket from the Museum required)

Spark!Lab, where everyone is an inventor, offers children accompanied by an adult a new, informal approach to hands-on learning.  Spark!Lab was designed for ages 5-12, but we welcome any young inventors within a smaller space called Spark!Lab Jr.

Food Options

Event attendees will be invited to indulge in some of the best food trucks in NJ. Purveyors include Jersey Rollz, The Brownie Bar Café, and Flirty Desserts and they will be on-site at the Morris Museum on Saturday & Sunday from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm.
