Subterranean Science:

Exploring Life in the Dark


We are excited to announce that our reimagined cave exhibit is now open! This exciting new Subterranean Science exhibit features living creatures that thrive in the dark, preserved specimens of local cave insects and bats, glowing minerals, and antique mining tools that tell the story of life and work underground.


This project is made possible through the generous support of the Brabson Family Foundation, with additional donations from the Clark R. Bavin National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory. Expertise and input from the Friends of the Oregon Cave National Monument and the National Park Service have also helped shape the exhibit.


Visit the museum today to delve into Subterranean Science: Exploring Life in the Dark.
