Second Floor Exhibits

The Second Floor exhibits take you on a journey through North America, intertwining natural environments and Native American cultures.

Habitats range from the Wisconsin Woodlands to the Northeast forests and Florida mangroves, to Southwest deserts and the Northwest coast. Native American cultures, both contemporary and past, are featured among these habitats, subtly making the connection between people and their environment.

Exhibit Accessibility & Social Stories

There are captioned videos throughout the exhibit, bison fur to touch, and people in the exhibits that appear to look real but are life-sized casts. The animals in the exhibit appear to be alive, but they are taxidermy mounts.
