The Creative Discovery Museum has opened the last permanent internal exhibit as part of the Ignite Discovery capital campaign — which has raised $12.5 million for the comprehensive renovation of the museum.

Introducing, “UnEarthed,” a natural science exhibit aimed at “building environmental literary and cultivating respect for the natural world through observation, exploration, and investigation.”

Exhibit highlights

  • “The Dino Dig” | Uncover buried fossils
  • Shake and wind table | Build structures + test its strength in strong wind simulations
  • Augmented reality sandbox | Create mountains and valleys in sand + see how water moves through them
  • Multi-sensory walk | Journey through the interior of a volcano
  • Augmented reality arthropod encounter | See how you can virtually hold arthropods
  • Insect Construction Station | Learn about insects + build 3D replicas

Looking to dig deeper? Visit the museum to check out the exhibit for yourself.

Bonus: The museum has plans to add an outdoor area to this exhibit — featuring a mud kitchen + additional opportunities for nature play — later this year.
