ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Based on my probably not totally accurate recollection, I can think of  
several science center exhibits on drugs:
 
-- The Pacific Science Center, in collaboration with the University of  
Washington, designed a small traveling exhibit called Brainpower that focused on  
the brain and drugs.  The traveling exhibit designed for school outreach  
includes about 20 or 25 interactive units, like a rubbing activity that show  
raised spider web patterns (what kind of spider web do you get when the  spider is 
on acid, speed, etc); brain models, etc.
 
-- OMSI designed a similar exhibit.
 
-- the Arizona Science Center designed some kind drug education exhibit  with 
funding from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDPC) I  think.
 
-- Boston Museum of Science exhibit titled "Changing Your Mind: Drugs in  the 
Brain"

-- Detroit Science Center exhibit "Target America: Opening Eyes to the  
Damage Drugs Cause", opened April 2 2005
