Dinosaur Discovery Day

Saturday, December 5 • 9 am to 5 pm

Dino-might! This whole day is devoted to digging into dinosaurs. How do scientists learn about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals? Are birds dinosaurs? Why or why not? Displays, crafts, very special guests, and activities throughout the museum focus on the science of paleontology. Take part in a fossil dig, perform a dino puppet show, watch dinosaur movies and take home a dino craft. We'll have activities for the whole family: dinosaur facts and fun on all four floors! Sponsored by the State Street Area Association.

So You Want To Buy A Telescope?

Sunday, December 6 • 2 to 4 pm

Just in time for holiday shopping -- for yourself or for people on your gift list -- the University Lowbrow Astronomers and the Exhibit Museum present an informative look at telescope basics to help prepare you to select that first telescope. Learn about different types of telescopes, their advantages and disadvantages, and learn about accessories that make the telescope and observation more comfortable and enjoyable. The workshop is free, but space is limited. Pre-registration is required. Please call 734-647-1381.
