Thanks to an immersive new experience, Denver Museum of Nature & Science visitors will be able to learn about earth's diverse collection of organisms that glow.

The 'Creatures of Light' exhibit lets you explore a series of luminous environments, from familiar grassy meadows to the deepest parts of the ocean and explains the many ways bioluminescence and chemoluminescence have inspired scientific research and everyday objects.

Interactive features showcase the ways light is used to attract a mate, lure unsuspecting prey and defend against predators. Videos, animations, photographs and iPads provide additional in-depth content.

The exhibit opens to the public Friday, February 23 and continues through Sunday, June 10. It's open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is included with museum admission.
