Larry Spring Museum of Common Sense Physics

Larry Spring Museum of Common Sense Physics The Larry Spring Museum is open Wednesdays - Saturdays noon until 4 or by appointment.

Larry’s varied creations, collections and inventions overlap folk and outsider art and science. The museum’s eccentric offerings celebrate the individual impulse to understand our universe.

Join the Field of Dreams: Local Seed Project in the Museum this First Friday. They begin their Seed Timelines residency with a metaphorical seed, an offering: a wish to walk today in such a way that we are good ancestors of tomorrow.

How do we measure the weight of time held in a seed?

Together we will make a decorative hangings with seed beads and paper cranes. Inspired by the Japanese folkloric tradition of senbazuru (1000 cranes), this practice now signifies prayers for peace and healing.
