Cincinnati Museum Center

Cincinnati Museum Center will fabricate and install the exhibit Ancient Worlds Hiding in Plain Sight, combining its invertebrate paleontology collection of more than 450,000 specimens with cutting-edge technology. Using an interdisciplinary approach and inclusive lens, the exhibit will blend science, history, and technology to enliven stories of the city’s prehistoric environment. Project activities will include preparing and reviewing gallery designs, fabricating and testing prototypes, and building out the exhibit and adjoining Paleo Lab. The exhibit will enrich the quality of life for Cincinnatians and other visitors, serving as an educational resource and contributing to the global understanding of Ordovician fossils.
