Exhibit Details

Skin: Living Armor, Evolving Identity: Aims to inspire wonder and curiosity about this uniquely complex organ. The exhibit features dozens of scientific specimens that showcase the incredibly adaptive properties of skin in animals. It will also touch on the topics of racism, prejudice, and discrimination through the lenses of history and science. October 12, 2024 - April 27, 2025

First Peoples: People called this area home long before the first European settlers arrived. At least 13,000 years ago these people lived along the rivers and hunted the plains and mountains we see today, leaving traces of their complex cultures for us to marvel at. Learn about the Lindenmeier archaeological site and our original inhabitants in the First Peoples exhibit  

Music & Sound Lab: Whether your taste in music is rock ‘n roll or Rachmaninoff, you’ll find something to inspire you in the Music & Sound Lab, supported through the generosity of the Bohemian Foundation. You’ll learn about the physics of sound (and why your parents were right about not listening to your music too loud), the technology behind everything from Edison wax cylinders to iPods, the history of the Fort Collins music scene, and have the opportunity to play instruments including guitars, drums, marimbas, keyboards, and even a theremin!  

Schatz Family Exploration Zone: Roll up your sleeves and get in touch with your inner scientist! The Schatz Family Exploration Zone is full of intriguing hands-on ways to turn scientific concepts into action. Encounter light, color, air, and motion in a whole new way!  

The Tot Spot: Designed for our littlest visitors, The Tot Spot reflects the larger museum in toddler-friendly ways! Check out the train table, water zone, art center, and the centerpiece – a giant crawl-through tree!  

Wildlands & Wildlife: Begin your natural history adventure at the Fossil Wall, where you’ll see the plants and animals that called Fort Collins home – millions of years before there was a Fort Collins! Opposite the fossil wall is the regional biodiversity wall, home to the flora and fauna of our four ecozones of today. In between you’ll find two creatures that connect past and present with their special stories  

Animal Encounters: The museum's live animals exhibit gives visitors an up close and personal experience with animals they can find in their backyard and beyond
