Discovery Gallery

Discovery Gallery

In our Natural History gallery, learn about anthropology, archaeology, and paleontology.

A beautifully-curated collection of specimens – from gems and fossils to life-sized polar bears – give guests plenty to explore and observe.

Discovery Gallery highlights

POLAR BEAR

Get a sense of the scale and power of the largest bear in the world! Two real, full-sized polar bears are poised to give guests an up-close and personal view of this beautiful, vulnerable species.

GEMINI TRAINER

Project Gemini, NASA’s second human spaceflight program, fell between projects Mercury and Apollo (1961-1966.) While our Gemini space capsule never left the ground, it helped many astronauts in the 1960s prepare for their space missions.

BAROSAURUS FEMUR

TOUCH this real thigh bone from one of the largest species of land animal to have ever lived on earth.

 

DISCOVER GALLERY UPDATES

Please note that Discovery Gallery may look different as we work on updating this exhibit and answering the question, “How do we know what we know about the past?”
