Exhibitions

Lord of the Crane Flies
Ongoing
Third Floor Rear

This exhibition focuses on Invertebrate Zoologist Chen Young's nearly 30 years of work on crane flies. Explore photographs, illustrations, specimens, and video all about crane flies—what they are, where they live, how they are collected and studied, and why they are an important part of the planet we share.

Population Impact
Ongoing
3rd Floor Alcove

How are the world’s nearly seven billion humans affecting ecosystems? And what effects do changing ecosystems have on humans? These questions and many others are explored through graphics, specimens, satellite images, and more in Population Impact. Compelling case studies and examples from western Pennsylvania and around the world underscore the idea that unchecked population growth in any species has lasting consequences on natural systems. Humans have become the dominant species in nearly every ecosystem on Earth. Choices we make affect the world in which we live in a very real way.
