You won’t believe your “ice” at the events that UNMC community partners are offering this holiday season.
The Durham Museum
It’s time to break the ice on a highly interactive exploration of the history and innovation of the “coolest” sport in the world. “HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever” takes you inside the game like never before, revealing the science and technology fueling every heart-pounding moment. This exhibition shows how science drives hockey’s speed, power and precision, from the first skates to today’s high-tech gear. With hands-on challenges, dynamic displays and STEAM-powered activities, fans of all ages will discover the engineering behind the action — and the history that shaped the sport.
Embark on hockey’s rich history through the evolution of skates and equipment from the 19th and 20th centuries. Hockey and memorabilia fans are sure to enjoy a locker room outfitted with jerseys of the NHL star players.
The Durham Museum provides free museum admission for UNMC faculty, staff, students and their immediate family with a valid identification badge.
