Springfield Museums

The Springfield Science Museum will create a new permanent exhibit about Archosaurs, the animal group from which dinosaurs evolved, and the prehistoric history of the local region. Museum staff will contract with an exhibit designer and fabricator to produce an exhibition with hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning experiences and text in both English and Spanish. The exhibit will include objects from the museum’s permanent collection to further contextualize evolutionary subject matter. Beneficiaries of the project will include students and school groups as well as visitors engaging in informal science learning.
