New & Upcoming Exhibits

NOW THROUGH MARCH 4, 2006

Grab your backpack and tools and become a paleontologist as you search for fossil clues about ancient life in SANDasaurus - the Museum's annual sand exhibit.  Learn what it takes to be a scientist as you dig for fossils on your own in over 70 tons of sand.

Exhibit components include:

• Base Camp - this campsite will let you explore what life is like on a daily basis for a paleontologist away from home.

• Dig Site - use tools to uncover a fossil buried in the sand.

• Paleo Lab - learn about the special tools a paleontologist uses to prepare fossils.

• Dino Dress Up - dress up in a dinosaur costume while you pretend-play with your friends what it would be like to actually be a dinosaur.

• Sand Sculpture - Cleveland's own Carl Jara, one of the nation's top sand artists returns to create another of his one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
