Upcoming Special Events at LHO:
This May we will be holding our very unique annual event, The Science and Art Showcase!
In collaboration with Mid-Columbia Ballet, LIGO tours will be enhanced with gravitational wave inspired ballet performances along the route.
There will also be a showcase of art created by students in 4th grade at Kiona-Benton Elementary School. These students participated in a cross-curricular unit of study, learning about the connections between art, ballet dance, and wave science.
