Details

Experience the role emotions, memory, and imagination play in our everyday lives at the Virginia Aquarium's new changing exhibit, Emotions at Play with Pixar's Inside Out. Hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit focus on the five emotions featured in the Pixar film: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. Explore some of the ways we express our emotions — and recognize emotions in others, too.

This exhibition was developed by Children's Museum of Pittsburgh  in collaboration with Pixar Animation Studios .
