| Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff: Standard Tours |
| Graycliff - the summer residence of Darwin and Isabelle Martin - can be found in nearby Derby, a short drive south of Buffalo. Situated on a 70 foot cliff overlooking Lake Erie, the two-story, 6,500 square foot house represents a transitional point from Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style to his later concrete designs that found their ultimate expression at the justly-famous Fallingwater. Elements from both periods are evident in the design of the house. Now undergoing extensive restoration, Graycliff is open to visitors. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and feel free to ask questions. In 2008, Graycliff is participating in the Field Trip Fund through the Buffalo Alliance for Education, which covers the cost of buses for schools. |

| Palette of Life |
| The museum's central hall has been transformed into a gallery of displays relating color and its role in our everyday lives. Visitors are greeted by a view of the world from a colorblind perspective. Guests can experiment in "Roomful of Color" to discover how color and light work together to affect our perception of color. After walking through the "Spectrum Tunnel," visitors find themselves in the "Color Lab," where they will be surrounded by unique color stations from the Exploratorium in San Francisco and unique displays and activities designed by the Museum. In the "Color Lab," visitors can see and learn what makes the sky blue; create color using the emissions of neon, nitrogen, helium, and other various gasses; create ribbons of light with reflections; explore the functions of color in nature for warning, protection, and attraction; compare the meaning of color and its varying cultural implications in different areas of the world; investigate how color affects our emotions; and much more. Before moving on to the rest of the Museum's ongoing exhibits, adults and children can add to the "Living Mural," an entire hall reserved for visitors to add their art, impressions, and colorful collaborations to its walls.
