Slime mould exhibit brings gooey, scientific enjoyable to Atlanta

ATLANTA – The title doesn’t precisely sound nice: slime mould.

According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, slime molds are primitive organisms typically present in damp and darkish locations like forest flooring. And whereas they only sort of seem like slimy blobs, scientists say they’re surprisingly clever — which is why Atlanta’s personal gooey paradise is celebrating them with a enjoyable new exhibit!

Last month, Sloomoo Institute Atlanta unveiled a brand-new interactive attraction known as “LooMoosh’s Magnificent Mold” — and this morning on Good Day Atlanta, we “dove right in” for a scientific exploration! Featuring large inflatable tubes, a light-weight maze, and eye-popping projections, the exhibit celebrates the six-billion-year-old single-cell organism which scientists say can resolve mazes, make choices, and even appear to kind recollections — all and not using a mind!

Sloomoo Institute founders Karen Robinovitz and Sara Schiller say “LooMoosh’s Magnificent Mold” is an ideal match for the Atlanta location, because it blends science, studying, and play. The latter, after all, isn’t in brief provide at Sloomoo Institute Atlanta, which is basically a 28,000-square-foot slime playground which opened in Buckhead in 2022. The well-liked attraction encompasses a DIY slime bar with dozens of accessible colours, charms, and smells, vats stuffed with slime during which to play, ASMR experiences, and extra. 

Sloomoo Institute Atlanta is situated at 3637 Peachtree Road Northeast — Suite D Lower Level — in Buckhead. For extra info on visiting, click on here.
