The Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery (OVMOD) will be open in April and May for a two-month preview of exhibits and activities that will encourage exploration and play for children and youth ages 5-12. Located in a storefront in The Market on State, the museum is showcasing Wild Weather!, an 11-station interactive exhibit developed by the Midwest Wild Weather Project with major funding from the National Science Foundation through a tour organized by the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science.

Beginning April 9, 2011, OVMOD will be open to the public on Saturdays from 10 AM to 1 PM. Families are encouraged to combine a trip to the mall and the Farmers Market with a visit to the exhibit, where children will be able to learn about weather and create their own weather phenomena.
