🎭 Columbus' newest museum is adults-only and wildly interactive. Prototype, created by Dublin-based company Roto, opens November 1 in a former Lazarus warehouse on the Whittier Peninsula. The 30,000-square-foot space features rotating exhibits that experiment with cutting-edge technologies and ideas too avant-garde for traditional museums.

Tickets must be purchased in advance and range from $39-$43.
