  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.

>Subject: water-less exhibits about water?
>  Our museum is developing an exhibit related to our neighboring river and we
>are looking for ways to represent the river in a hands-on way without using
>water.  Has anyone ever seen an exhibit that uses another material to
>effectively take the place of water in showing a flow pattern?
>Thanks!
