Einstein’s Brain: Mind of a Genius

Dr. Einstein often said he thought in pictures, not words. His imaginative methods for working out problems are well established, but did you know that he intentionally fueled his subconscious by taking breaks to play his violin or walk across Princeton?

The 2025 pop-up exhibit, “Einstein’s Brain: Mind of a Genius,” offers a glimpse into the workings of the human brain and how one of history’s greatest thinkers used ingenuity, visualizations, experience, and persistence to reveal a wholly new understanding of the universe.

Exhibit visitors can explore questions about the human mind, how we think, and what role creativity played in Einstein’s work. They can even try a few visualization challenges for themselves.

The Brain exhibit is aimed at ages 8 and up, and will be on display in Princeton, NJ starting in the early summer of 2025. It will include:

— The Structure of the Human Brain
— Einstein’s Thinking Processes and the Power of Play
— What We Have Learned (Or Not) From Examining Einstein’s Brain
— Where is Einstein’s Brain Today?
— Minds-on Mental Challenges
