Thornapple Room Exhibition

Electric cars and wind turbines really aren't the newest thing in renewable energy technology! Beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries a special group of inventors began exploring the potentials for harnessing the energy of the wind and sun. Discover the results of their experiments and innovative thinking as you view Nothing New Under the Sun. This exhibition was produced by the Art Gallery in conjunction with guest curator, Glen Swanson of the GVSU Physics Department.
