Called "Atlanta's Home to Dinosaurs," this museum houses the mounted skeleton of the biggest dinosaur discovered. It reveals both the history of the Earth and the evidences of prehistoric events that can be found in our present surroundings.
From the Big Bang Theory to the future of the planet, this signature exhibition illustrates the planet's history using Georgia's landscape, vegetation, wildlife and fossil record.
By learning about the state of Georgia and the history of its six diverse landform regions, visitors in turn understand the Earth's incredible transformations and the plant and animal developments that have resulted with the change in their habitats over millions of years.
Various galleries incorporating landscapes, plants, animals and scientific principles place visitors within the visual concept of the topics.
Different exhibits portray a theory of earth's coming into existence and its evolution and it goes through every step thereafter. The perfect example of this theory is the Okefenokee Swamp that was recreated for the visitors.
Cosmos Theater
The journey begins with a brief orientation film that explains connections between the past and the present using the Big Bang Theory. This event took place 15 billion years ago, when an explosion unleashed forces of incredible intensity and ferocity, creating among other things, the Earth.
While you're here, be sure to catch a stunning IMAX film. The immense IMAX screen--5 stories high and 72 feet wide--puts you right in the middle of all the action.
