Opening Day: Nature All Around us

Be the first to visit Nature All Around Us!

Nature All Around Us explores the world’s interconnected natural engineering solutions: how trees cool our neighborhoods, how streams carry storm water away from our homes, and how spending time in nature keeps us healthy. 

Filled with immersive environments and hands-on interactives, Nature All Around Us challenges the notion that urban and natural environments are separate and shows the myriad ways they are connected.

Exhibit Highlights

• See dozens of animal specimens from world-class research collections.
• Discover the hidden worlds and rich ecosystems through immersive media installations.
• Explore the ways our daily lives are intertwined with nature by taking a virtual bicycle ride through our own backyard.
