Exhibits

At the Museum of Nature & Science, we house exhibits that are shared with us for a limited time. These exhibits, such as Planet Shark: Predator or Prey are called Traveling Exhibits.

We also house Permanent Exhibits, which have found their permanent homes at the museum and are available to view year round.
