Canopy Crane in Brazil |

The second floor of our museum is divided into two major sections. One half of the space is devoted to temporary exhibits that explore art, history and culture from around the world. The other half will focus on forests around the world and their connections to people.
Our World's Forests
You will first encounter a huge map of the world which highlights forest types and how peoples of the world use forests. Artifacts and flip books will encourage you to learn about wildlife, forest values, and meeting human needs.
TAKE A JOURNEY
Now it's time to embark on whirlwind virtual tours of four forest types: boreal, temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical.
Trans-Siberian Railway
As you journey through the cold landscape via the Trans-Siberian railway, you'll encounter people who depend on the boreal forest for their livelihood.
Chinese Tour Boat
Next it's time to take a boat ride on Songhua Lake in Changbai Mountain to learn about population pressures on China's temperate forests.
South Africa
Now a jeep ride through Kruger National Park is the perfect way to view wildlife in a sub-tropical forest!
The Amazon!
And finally, step inside a canopy crane for a simulated ride up into the treetops of Brazil's Amazon tropical rainforest.
We know you'll enjoy these forest journeys and people you'll meet along the way.
