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

Frank Smekar, Creative Display (Michigan) shows water very
effectively in his immersion exhibits for the National Civil War
Medicine museum in Frederick MD and, on a smaller scale (in "mud
puddles")at the NJ Veterans Museum in East Orange NJ. The illusion
is so good that I've seen people try to touch the water.
