Gallery of California Natural Sciences Reopening June 2012

The transformed Gallery of California Natural Sciences themed Hotspot California: Bringing Dioramas to Life Through Community Voices will feature innovative displays about California places that exemplify the state’s great biological and geological diversity as well as its complex environmental challenges, such as climate change, urbanization, pollution, and invasive species, among others. The Gallery will infuse dramatic dioramas with emerging technologies and compelling stories of real places to engage museum visitors in the natural world and to encourage positive attitudes toward conservation. Interactive displays, learning stations, and testimony from scientists and local residents will inspire visitors to learn more about California hotspots, five real places in California that exemplify the high biological diversity and complex environmental issues that, in combination, warrant California’s designation as a global “hotspot.
