Description
Exhibitions take a playful look at communication, giving visitors room to sing karaoke, dissect advertising, and explore the mechanics of humor and poetry. Set on the site where Alexander Graham Bell first transmitted a wireless message via photophone, the independent non-profit traces the evolution of human language alongside its daily quirks, drawing teachers, translators, and anyone keen to nerd out over words.
