Over the summer the
Science Museum was approached by one of our camper’s parents about doing a
mural somewhere at the Museum. Lori Lee
is a well-known local muralist. She
offered to volunteer her time to help make one of our rooms more attractive and
engaging for incoming students.
The space that was chosen for the full wall mural was the
Paleontology Lab, located in a former barn down by the visitor’s parking
lot. Over the last few weeks Lori,
along with her son and students from Schreiber High School, have been hard at
work. They decided on a night time
dinosaur scene. The new mural really
makes the room come alive and makes the space extremely inviting for
guests.
An official unveiling of the new dinosaur mural will be held
soon. Until then, guests are still able
to get a look at what Lori and her team of volunteers have done. Parents booking a Discovering Dinos or Paleontology
birthday party are able to treat their guests to a visit to the paleo lab to
see the fossils we have and to brush and scrape real bones. Teachers can also bring their classes here
for either the Discovering Dinosaurs or Practical Paleontology programs which
both include a trip down to the lab as well.
