Building on the Academy’s extraordinary collections and two centuries of scientific exploration, this major new exhibit celebrates the institution’s groundbreaking discoveries of the past and present and provides a glimpse into the future of one of the world’s great natural history museums. Visitors will “journey” alongside Academy scientists in search of new species, explore how people impact the environment, become immersed in the Academy’s labs, and more.


This exhibit opens on Bicentennial Weekend, March 24 and 25. The bicentennial year officially begins with the opening of an exciting new exhibit, an amazing light and laser show, special guest appearances, fun hands-on activities, music, games, crafts, and, of course, birthday cake.
