To involve viewers completely, an entirely new art form is developing. It surrounds visitors with images and sounds. Sometimes unnoticeable smells are added to draw people in through yet another sense. These immersive (沉浸式的) exhibits are projected and can even change with interaction.

Monet’s Garden: The Immersive Experience

A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will be shown in downtown New York in November, promising visitors a multisensory experience. Visitors will be greeted by pleasant smells of water lilies floating in the air and learn much about Monet, who developed from a gifted but slightly traditional landscape painter into a master of the Impressionism.

TheBlu

TheBlu, which started as a home application, is presented at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Museum lovers virtually observe a big blue whale and a whale fall where a dead whale’s bones have become an undersea ecosystem. “We aim for the right level of awe (敬畏). No cheap scares. No shark jumps out at you,” says Rowell, one of the app developers, “Exploration is the heart of what ‘theBlu’ is.”

Particle (微粒) Mirror

The Museum of Science, Boston has used the latest tech to excite visitors and inspire life-long learning. Opened this year, “Particle Mirror” inspires an interest in physics. Visitors are led through nine scenes interacting with a changing variety of spots, all following the laws of physics. For example, in the “snow” scene, visitors can collect the falling particles or sweep them off the floor. Particles set off different musical sounds when pushed.

Vitality in Running

This immersive art exhibition is an interactive multi-media one focusing on the culture of the Yongding River, known as the “Mother River of Beijing”. This exhibition is made up of various sections including “Flowing”, “Dawn”, “Legend”, “Coexistence”, “Fire and Dreams’, and “Four Seasons”. The exhibition feeds its visitors’ souls by presenting the beauty of art through interaction with visitors by means of the latest technologies.

Have you ever dreamed of going to a park with fun, fitness as well as education? Well, the State Park can help to realize your dream.

Don’t miss our new summer classes, which are available (可获得的) during May 23-August 5!

●Swimming lessons: Age 4-adult Cost: $5 per class

●Hiking: Have a park keeper hike with you through our paths and teach you about the park’s wildlife and plants. The park is a perfect spot for hiking.

●Soccer: Our youth soccer program is unusual and non-competitive. Different teams are formed every day. The focus is on each player learning to work as a team, not on one person playing for success.

●Boating: These classes are only for 20-year-olds and above. Fishing is only allowed with a permit.

●Bicycling: We have special paths built for cyclists. Signs are posted for self-guided tours of our park. Group cycling is also available with a park guide. Paths range from easy to challenging.

●Experience being a park keeper: Are you 13-17 years old who ever wondered what it would be like to be a park keeper? It’s a competitive (竞争的) field, but you can get ahead by volunteering with our Teen Keeper Program.

A message from the park manager:

Hiking paths! Sports fields! Playgrounds! Campgrounds! Fun activities! The State Park offers something for everyone. We have a number of plants and animals, which are in danger of dying out, being protected in our park. Sign up for one of our new summer classes, or take a camping trip with your friends or family!
