 Travel
back in time and discover mastodons and other ancient creatures that once
roamed California, at the University of California Museum of Paleontology
(UCMP). Walk across the hall and enjoy a look at the floral history of
our state. As a special open house for KQED members, viewers and listeners,
each of the six Berkeley
Natural History Museums will share their collections and research
facilities for behind-the-scenes tours and mini-lectures. This is a unique
chance to get a better understanding of the history of life on Earth and
examine fossils that illustrate how life evolved over time. Highlights
include a life-size T-rex, material from the Hearst Museum of Anthropology,
plants from the University and Jepson Herbaria and the UC Botanical Garden, the collections of the
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, plus butterflies and other fascinating insects
from the Essig Museum of Entomology. |
