Description
Join CFI–MI at the Life on Earth! exhibition presented by Cranbrook Institute of Science on February 10 to celebrate Darwin Day! Join fellow CFI Members for a meet and greet 8:00pm in the lower lobby outside of the science shop.
Cranbrook Institute of Science explores the vast diversity and mysterious beauty of life forms on Earth, diversity’s importance to humanity, and how mass extinctions and evolution have shaped its history through geologic time to the present in the Life on Earth! exhibition. Produced by Cranbrook using its own life science collections, as well as specimens on loan from other museums, universities and private collections, Life on Earth! immerses the visitor in the splendor of life and explores the degree to which the growing human population has transformed the Earth for human welfare.
Features within the exhibit include a Wall of Life, The Human Population Extension (a nearly real-time clock that monitors humanity's growing numbers), and more.
Other optional activities will also be available:
- Natural Selection is showing in the planetarium at 7pm. Admission is an additional $5.00, not included with general admission into the museum.
- The observatory is open from 8:30 - 10:00pm, weather permitting, and is free of charge.
