Welcome to LATE, a monthly after-hours series by the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science that takes a deeper look at the scientific wonders within the museum. Each event features special guests, live performances, cocktails, interactive installations by creative partners and mind-bending discussions and panels.

First up is SEEING: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?, on display at Frost Science until October 20. Straight from Dublin’s Science Gallery, SEEING questions how eyes, brains and robots see, while tackling the complex sensory experience of vision, understanding and perception.

On Wednesday, September 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., LATE will be taking a deeper look into this exhibition with SEEING 004, an exploration of “Optics.” How does our brain see? Optical illusions deceive our brain by appearing to be other than they are when seen through our eyes. How can we trick the brain?

Featured activations include:

• Stereographic Projections “Bending Light and Form” by Moonlighter Makerspace
• Creative talks underneath the Gulf Stream Aquarium oculus

So, grab a drink. Discover something new. Because tonight, you’re staying out LATE.

Admission: $8 for adults, Frost Science members free. Space is limited – pre-purchase highly recommended. Admission does not include food/drink. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.
