KIDS | HOLIDAY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DAYS AT RMSC
Close out 2013 in an educational way by bringing your kids to the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Holiday Science & Technology Days this weekend. The event is geared to kids and designed to foster interest in some of the fascinating fields of science. Local scientists and organizations will be on hand to offer demonstrations in a wide variety of fields, including physics, chemistry, and engineering. There will be the chance to meet live animals and learn about valuable ways to protect the local environment while taking part in hands-on activities that will educate and engage. Holiday Science and Technology Days will run from Friday, December 27, to Monday, December 30, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave). Regular museum admission costs $11-$13. For more information visit rmsc.org or call 271-4320. — BY COLIN MCCOY
Art Exhibits
Due to the holiday, event details may change. Please call ahead. [ OPENING ] Cumming Nature Center, 6472 Gulick Rd. Marsh Madness: Wonders of Wetlands. Through May 4. Wed-Fri 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m., Sat-Sun 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. In an array of work created by members of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI), Marsh Madness: Wonders of Wetlands demonstrates the principal task of the science illustrator—to create accurate renderings of scientific subjects. In this exhibit, nearly forty scientific illustrations of birds, turtles, plants and other natural subjects found among the freshwater wetlands of Upstate New York and the Adirondacks are depicted in both traditional and digital formats. These illustrations precisely show proportions, coloration and anatomy of a subject. They communicate complex descriptive information in an aesthetically appealing way and aid the viewer by providing intricate detail. In addition to the artwork, a variety of taxidermy wildlife will be on display. 374-6160. rmsc.org. Friendly Home’s Memorial Gallery, 3165 East Ave. Tracie Doerner. Through Feb 28.

FILM | “GREMLINS” DOUBLE FEATURE
When purchasing an adorably furry, exotic pet for your child from an antique shop, it’s best to heed the three very important rules that come with it: don’t expose your Mogwai to bright light, don’t allow it to get wet, and don’t feed the beast after midnight (no matter how much it pleads with its puppydog eyes). With such a set up, you just knew that each rule was going to be broken in quick succession — so the story goes in the 1984 horror-comedy classic, “Gremlins,” and its 1990 sequel. Many of us were seriously creeped out by the supposedly unrelated Gremlin-look-alike robot toy, “Furby,” which was all the rage almost a decade later. You can relive Joe Dante’s tale of an innocent gift gone awry at the New Year’s Eve double feature at the Dryden Theatre (George Eastman House, 900 East Ave.). On Tuesday, December 31, “Gremlins” will be screened at 7 p.m., followed by “Gremlins 2: The New Batch.” Tickets are $8, or $6 for members and students with ID.
