Fossils and Prehistoric Seas
See spectacular fossils of marine reptiles and ammonites and discover how life evolved in ancient oceans. Understand why some creatures vanished while others adapted and thrived.
Mammals and the Blue Whale
Stand beneath the awe-inspiring Blue Whale and compare it with other mammals—from big cats to primates. Discuss evolution, adaptation and how scientists study living species to understand the past.
Minerals, Volcanoes and Earth Sciences
Enter the sparkling world of crystals and meteorites, then dive into forces that shape our planet—earthquakes, volcanoes and plate tectonics. Your guide reveals how geologists track our planet’s restless energy.
Human Evolution Gallery
Trace the story of human evolution through skulls, tools and interactive displays. Learn how discoveries—from Lucy to Neanderthals—changed what we know about our origins.
