Interactive Prismatica Kaleidoscope Experience at Short Pump Town Center dazzles

Through April 27, shoppers at Short Pump Town Center have the opportunity to enjoy the interactive Prismatica Kaleidoscope Experience. The towering rainbow prisms are made of panels laminated with dichoroic film that transmits and reflects every color in the visible spectrum. An additional aspect of the experience is the bell sounds that play at varying intensity as the prisms rotate.

Marine Beausergent, an employee at Short Pump Town Center has found joy in the prisms, comparing them at various points throughout the day. “I love to spin them and see all the different colors reflect” she said. Beausergent, a French native, is reminded of one of her favorite places, Versailles when she sees the exhibit. “When the prisms twirl, it is kind of like The Hall of Mirrors”.

The exhibit, located in Restaurant Row, is only here through April 27, so be sure to make it to Short Pump soon.
