Letter 

from the 

President 

Dear Friends 

As I write this, spring is in full bloom and memories of winter fun and 

Titanic icebergs seem far behind us. The success of last fall’s blockbuster, 

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, continues to provide momentum for the 

RMSC’s progress in 2010, helping us maximize the positive impact we 

have on Monroe County. 

Rochester Museum & 

Science Center receives 

public support from 

Monroe County; the New 

York State Council on the 

Arts, a State Agency; and 

the Natural Heritage Trust, 

a program of the NYS 

Office of Parks, Recreation, 

and Historic Preservation. 

Total attendance for Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition of more than 68,000 included guests from 47 states 

and 21 countries. As a great catalyst for lessons in science, history, geography, English, math, and technology, 

the exhibition drew more than 2,300 young people in school groups. You may remember that Titanic’s 

extraordinary popularity prompted us to extend it for an additional week through January 24. This allowed 

5,000 more visitors to come and experience the compelling story of the ship. 

This exhibition’s economic impact extended far beyond the RMSC, benefiting the greater Rochester community. 

We welcomed 20,000 New York State visitors from outside Monroe County, bringing significant 

tourism dollars to our city. A 2006 study of the economic impact of arts and cultural organizations in Monroe 

County concluded that non-resident attendees of cultural events here spend an average of $35.87 per 

person, excluding the cost of event admission. According to that formula, our Titanic exhibition generated 

more than $700,000 in tourism revenue for Rochester and Monroe County. 

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition gave RMSC’s 2010 budget year a great early boost, and we have continued 

to build on that success by offering fabulous science and technology experiences that engage and inspire 

our community. Be the Dinosaur: Life in the Cretaceous, drew record-breaking numbers of visitors during 

the February school break week with its fun, cutting-edge approach to paleontology. Then our Earth Month 

activities sparked our region’s imagination. The giant-screen film Mysteries of the Great Lakes opened in 

April and continues through the summer. It’s a compelling story that includes a look at the project to bring 

back the fabulous population of lake sturgeon, the largest freshwater fish in the world. 

Plan to visit BRAIN: The World Inside Your Head, our summer traveling exhibit. It is hands-on in a different 

way, using innovative special effects, 3-D reproductions, and virtual reality to explore the amazing organ 

that makes us who we are. We know that adults will enjoy this exhibition as well. We are all curious about 

our brains. 

CSI: The Experience will end the year. Visitors will experience hands-on science in an exciting, multi-media 

environment direct from the CSI TV series. This completely immersive exhibit brings to life real scientific 

principles and the most advanced techniques used today by crime scene investigators and forensic scientists. 

We’re having a terrific year, with experiences that offer great fun, important content, and major economic 

benefit for Rochester and Monroe County. Thank you to our important sponsors who make these exhibition 

experiences possible. Come share your family time with us.

2 RMSC News & Programs • Summer 2010


May 22 – September 6, 2010 

Patricia F. Hale Hands-On Gallery 

Every thought, every motion, every response your body makes originates 

in your brain—a three-pound organic computer that looks a lot like 

a cauliflower! Experience the RMSC’s summer traveling exhibition 

BRAIN: The World Inside Your Head and explore your amazing central 

processing unit. 

How does your brain work? What does it have in common with the brains of other creatures? When 

does it rest? What happens if it gets sick? Colorful, eye-popping effects and interactive components will 

engage hands and minds of visitors of all ages. 

• Take a walk into the midst of a functioning human brain. You’re in a shimmering tunnel, 

where flashing fiber optics illuminate networks of firing neurons. 

• Play a video game to see how sleep “recharges” the human battery. 

• Use a gamma knife simulator to excise a brain tumor. 

• Score points as you find out how to “Boost Your Brain” through nutrition, exercise, and more. 

“BRAIN” is made possible by Pfizer Inc and was produced by Evergreen Exhibitions of San Antonio, 

Texas, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health.

Brain “Science” of Days Gone By 

Does the shape of your head determine your personality? Many people who believed in the “science” 

of phrenology in the 19th century answered “yes” to this question! 

Phrenology theory proposed that each personality trait is housed in a specific part of the brain. Areas 

in which a person is strong would protrude, while others would recede. By examining the shape of the 

head, a phrenologist could determine a person’s underlying behavioral patterns. Model phrenology 

heads provided maps to guide the interpretation. 

Two of the most prolific phrenologists were brothers Orson and Lorenzo Fowler from Cohocton, NY. 

Their sister married Samuel R. Wells, who joined them in a thriving business that expanded to offices 

in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and London. Celebrities such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Susan 

B. Anthony and Clara Barton were among their friends and supporters. 

Phrenology has been debunked by modern science. Visit BRAIN: The World Inside Your Head to see 

what advanced research has revealed, and what mysteries remain. 

The RMSC collection includes 

these two phrenology heads, 

sold by Fowler and Wells. See 

them on display in the Old 

Rochester Apothecary Exhibit 

on the museum’s third 

floor. The RMSC’s Schuyler C. 

Townson Library holds this 

1855 edition of O. S. Fowler’s 

The Illustrated Self-Instructor 

in Phrenology & Physiology.
