Unshelved: Cool Stuff from Storage at the San Diego Natural History Museum
Description:
Have you ever wondered that goes on behind the exhibits at the San Diego Natural History Museum? The building looks bigger from the outside than inside because it holds 8 million specimens in storage areas underground and behind gallery walls. The Museum is giving visitors a rare peek behind the scenes when they open Unshelved: Cool Stuff from Storage beginning November 18. The exhibition is included with paid admission and free for members.
Two public programs are planned to celebrate the opening: A Family Day will coincide with the grand opening on November 18, offering craft-making stations and hands-on activities. The following Tuesday, November 21 at 7 p.m., Museums scientists will give a Nat Talk and share their "staff picks" - what they believe to be the coolest, most important, and weirdest objects in their research collection.
Admission rates: $19/adults; $17 seniors/students/military; $12 youth(3-17). Members and children 2 and under are free.
The Museum is open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
