Bakken

The Bakken will develop, design, fabricate, and install a new interactive exhibit called "Mary and Her Monster: Mary Shelley and the World that Created Frankenstein." In this hands-on, immersive exhibit, visitors will explore the life of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the teenage author of Frankenstein, through the lenses of history, literature, and science. Through Shelley's story, the exhibit will present a relevant and inclusive vision of the many ways to think about, talk about, be inspired by, and participate in science. By providing a compelling gateway to science, the exhibit will meet the Bakken's increasingly diverse audience's need for innovative experiences that foster new skills and heighten engagement with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning.
