Mindworks is the world’s first discovery center and working lab dedicated to behavioral science. Visitors are invited to participate in studies that examine the science of human behavior, particularly judgment and decision making, and to experience hands-on exhibits showcasing the powerful, real-world impact of behavioral science.
Mindworks was conceived by faculty at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The space, designed by Kreuck Sexton Partners with exhibit design by Pentagram, was awarded the 2022 AIA Lerch Bates People's Choice Award in the Community & Cultural category.
Visitor Experience
After checking in at the front desk, visitors are free to tour the gallery featuring eight interactive exhibits on fascinating concepts in the science of decision-making. Those who choose to participate in research studies will get an inside look at the testing rooms and earn prizes for helping support science.
