Nature Center Exhibits

The exhibits in the Nature Center are subjects of natural history and space exploration. They are designed and created by the exhibits staff in cooperation with the other park personnel to be aids in understanding our natural environment.

Much effort and patience is required to produce displays with such accuracy as the now extinct Dodo shown here.

Producing exhibits can encompass many techniques.  Often a traditional painted backdrop is supplemented with model or mount and placed in a 3-dimensional environment constructed from artificial materials.  This red fox display is typical of the realism that can be achieved.
