Life, As We Know It

Beginning in 2018, the Life, as we know it redisplay project has involved the conservation of thousands of specimens and the development and installation of exciting new displays. Our Main Court is now home to 36 new exhibits housed in state-of-the-art showcases, with the newest displays opening in 2024.
