This museum showcases captivating holograms from around the world and other three-dimensional images produced by laser lights, with a focus on artistic use. Holography was developed at the Imperial College in London by Dr. Dennis Gabor. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1971 for his holographic inventions that produced accurate depictions of three-dimensional images. The museum demonstrates how lasers create three-dimensional images, as well as the effect of movement. Admission is $2.50 adults, children under 6 free. Group tours are available by appointment.
