How do scientists explore our world? What ecosystems are hiding in your own backyard? And what can Museum specimens teach us about nature?
Curiosity: It turns rocks into ancient geological evidence, birds into long-lost relatives of dinosaurs, and fossils into handheld time capsules.
Learning about science should be just as exciting and awe-inspiring as nature itself—and that’s exactly the experience the Ames Family Curiosity Center aims to provide.
In this space, you’ll get hands-on with Museum collections, connect with science and art to engage your senses, and become a citizen scientist. You’ll discover engaging displays that answer questions and spark new ones—along with interactive workstations and opportunities for self-guided exploration of fascinating specimens.
