Are you a fan of the slimy and slithery? Creepy and crawly? Or just
curious to meet some of your animal neighbors? Visit The Nat to meet
our regions not-so-cuddly residents in Living Lab. The Nat has a
Vivariuma facility in which we care for our live animalsin the
basement of the Museum. Were bringing these animals out and into the
public gallery as part of our brand-new exhibition located on Level 1
just off the Atrium. Living Lab showcases everything from the stinging
and scaly to the fuzzy and flesh-eating, including an impressive red
diamond rattlesnake, an observation bee hive, a Gila monster, several
centipedes and arachnids, and more. COVID-19 update: temporary closure
We have made the difficult decision to close The Nat to the public
until further notice. We realize closures like these can feel ominous,
but we see it as an act of solidaritya collective effort to protect
our most vulnerable populations. Our museum doors may be closed, but
our work will not stop. As we speak: Our scientists are in the field
working to protect and conserve wildlife. Our educators are working on
resources they can use online to keep learning going. Our teams are
still planning exciting new projects for later in the year that will
bring you an even closer understanding of our natural world. Stay
tuned. Stay in touch. The natural world does not stop, and neither do
we.
