Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out

Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out on display at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum from June 1 through September 8, 2024

Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out, the first interactive exhibit based on the award-winning film, helps visitors – young and old – understand the important role emotions, memory and imagination play in our everyday lives. Focusing on the five core emotions featured in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear – hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit offer opportunities to explore some of the ways we express our emotions – and recognize emotions in others, too.

• Step into Headquarters to explore the range and intensity of emotions at the Control Panel.
• Explore some of the ways we show how we feel with our faces and bodies at the Emotions Mirrors.
• Think about an important memory and how it made you feel – or show how you are feeling right now by creating a glowing Memory Sphere.
• Use your imagination to create a story and perform it at Dream Productions.
• Work to keep the train on track – what feelings do you have when you control and balance the Train of Thought.
• Explore how emotions work together as you stack and balance the Emotion Blocks.
• The exhibition was developed by Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in collaboration with Pixar Animation Studios.

This exhibit has bilingual (English/Spanish) signage.
