Life Hall

Life Science Hall invites visitors to explore the nature of human growth and development, the structure and function of the human body, and the impact of advancing technology on health care and choices.

NOTE: Some of our Life Hall exhibits, including Eat Well Play Well, Nanotechnology, and Amazing Feats of Aging, have been temporarily removed for the summer to make space for Mummies of the World. Our prenatal exhibit, Beginning the Journey, will still be on view.
