The whole family can discover hidden surprises with an ultraviolet spotlight, or experience how colors affect our moods at the Bishop Museum exhibition "Color Play: Exploring the Art, Science and Culture of Color," from Sept. 15 through Feb. 3 in the museum's Castle Memorial Building.

Among the highlights of the exhibit is a Color Playhouse, which includes a room with lights that transform objects with a flip of a switch, as well as a room where visitors can see a rainbow reflected on the ceiling. Other features include a Color Lab, where adults and keiki can participate in hands-on activities at color stations, each of which brings to life an aspect of color, such as shading, camouflage, harmony and classification.

The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit is free with paid museum admission. For more information, call 848-4160.
