Science Museum Seeking Human Subject for Monthlong Exhibit [Museum]

If the idea of you sleeping in a museum by yourself for a month isn\’t the stuff anxiety attacks are made from, then perhaps you\’re just who Chicago\’s Museum of Science and Industry is calling for.

The MSI is accepting applicants for its 30 day \” Month at the Museum\” project, by which one lucky (?) subject may have the opportunity to live inside a tumbler, um, habitat, in the center\’s 14-acre environs. The intrepid guest\’s time inside the museum might be busily spent, enjoying live science demonstrations, mingling with guests, and obviously, blogging. about a restrictions do apply throughout the experiment, including prohibitions against smoking and \” visitors overnight,\” if you were planning on putting to your own biology demonstrations after hours.

Those without any significant scientific knowledge (or maybe interest) are still encouraged to apply, as the museum is solely generally curious as to what effect this will likely have on a human:

Regardless of your experience, you could answer our question: how will a Month at the Museum transform someone? We frequently hear people say they were inspired by a single visit here. Now, we\’re hoping that, as you document your experience, we\’ll find out what a whole month can do.

If you have to happen to emerge from your tenure psychologically unscathed, you\’ll enjoy a bunch of prizes, including a new laptop, digicam, and $10,000. Oh, and obviously-drumroll-a life-time membership to the Museum of Science and Industry. Phew! [Museum of Science and Industry via Apartment Therapy]
