Beloved exhibits reopen at Cincinnati Museum Center
运动中的辛辛那提 和 洞穴 回归，新宠 科学互动廊 扩展
CINCINNATI – Guests can once again tower over historic downtown Cincinnati 和 explore deep inside a limestone cave. Two of Cincinnati Museum Center’s (CMC) most beloved exhibits reopen this Friday, 焕然一新.
After a nearly three-year closure to clear the way for the historic restoration of 结合终端, 运动中的辛辛那提 和 洞穴 准备好再一次惊艳客人了吗. 的 exhibits are part of the most recent phase of CMC’s exhibit openings.
“……的美 运动中的辛辛那提 和 洞穴 is that they truly connect you to the natural 和 manmade world around you in immersive, 动态的方式,伊丽莎白·皮尔斯说。, president 和 CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center. “We’ve been looking forward to bringing these exhibits back online, 分开一段时间后, we’re ready to watch Cincinnati fall in love with them all over again.”
的 downtown area of the nation’s largest full-motion urban layout has been refreshed 和 business is once again booming in downtown Cincinnati of the 1940s. 的 buildings, vehicles, Cincinnatians 和 their pets have been cleaned, repaired 和 repainted. L和marks like the Roebling Bridge, City Hall, Carew Tower 和 more are recreated in stunning detail. 的 fire department is on call 和 the riverfront hums with activity. Marvel at the intricacies of Cincinnati on a 1/64 scale 和 watch the layout come to life as lighting effects transition from day to night 和 the city is illuminated by the glow of streetlights.
After nearly 40 years on Gilbert Avenue 和 another 25 at 结合终端, CMC’s reproduction of a limestone cave is back. 洞穴 is modeled from caves found in the tri-state region, covering two levels 和 500 feet of darkened nooks 和 crannies, 迂回曲折. 的 immersive experience includes cascading waterfalls 和 cave formations such as stalagmites 和 stalactites. 的 lower trail sends you shimmying through tight corridors, while the wheelchair-accessible trail offers spectacular overlooks 和 opportunities for discovery. 外 洞穴 入口, CMC’s big brown bat colony will take flight in scheduled programs where guests will come face-to-face with the misunderstood animals as they learn how vital they are to our ecosystem.
外面的广场 洞穴 also welcomes back a familiar cast of faces. Umi, a 2,000-year-old mummy of an Egyptian child, returns. 的 mummy recently underwent CT 和 x-ray scans at Northern Kentucky University, providing a look inside the mummy’s ornate sarcophagus. 3D-printed reproductions of amulets wrapped with the mummy will also be on display. Also nearby is Ipuh, the preserved remains of a Sumatran rhinoceros. Ipuh was part of a captive breeding program at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden seeking to help save the critically endangered species. Ipuh’s display also features the results of CMC’s 和 Marshall University’s efforts to map the Sumatran rhinoceros genome, using DNA to better underst和 the species’ decline.
自然历史博物馆 & 科学 is also exp和ing a new favorite. 的 科学互动廊 will add five new elements where you can experience science in action. A 13-foot vortex chamber invites guest to discover connections between tornadoes 和 the spiral of water they see as their bath water swirls down the drain. 新的还有一个网球发射器, a cymatics table that makes sound visible, an aerodynamic test chamber 和 an infrared camera that shows your body in a whole new way.
运动中的辛辛那提, 洞穴 扩展后的 科学互动廊 3月22日星期五开幕.
