Exhibits
Where there's something for everyone
From our tinkering studio to our fossil dig, our exhibits are engineered in-house for both fun and hands-on learning. Explore the museum, build a marble run, or land a lunar module—there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
Featured Exhibit
Paleoart Through Time
Paleoart provides context not just to our past but to our present. Graduating SOU sculpture student Drew Hogan's installation is a chronological exploration of how our understanding of prehistoric species has evolved from the early 1900s to now, with pop-culture touchstones. This installation will include a variety of sculptures -- some interactive and some not -- which explore the subject matter of dinosaur species, the materiality of the paleoart itself, and the artist’s evolution. The "Paleoart Through Time" exhibit is ideal for learners of all ages and will be on display at ScienceWorks until the end of September.
