First Look at Brain: The Inside Story

Wednesday, November 17 10:02 am

A human brain is small enough to hold in your hands. It weighs about three pounds (1.4 kilograms) and is mostly made up of water. Yet a brain can compose a symphony, design an airplane engine, or predict the path of a planet in orbit. This modest organ is sometimes described as the world’s most complex structure—and it’s the focus of the new exhibition Brain: The Inside Story, which opens at the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday, November 20.
