The Seaport Museum hosts a free hands-on art installation that highlights the importance of clean drinking water. Standing at the center of the piece, turn a wheel to pump more than 35 gallons of water through the clear pipes and receptacles to have it rain down around you, without getting wet.

Created by the Netherlands-based pioneer in media design, Dropstuff Media, The Water Arch is an abstraction of a classic barrel organ. The amount of water symbolizes the average volume used by a Dutch person every day––but Americans use more than double this amount of water on a daily basis!
