The Earth Sciences Museum is excited to announce the launch of our newest project, a virtual tour of the museum!
Our
new
tour
allows
users
to
explore
various
areas
of
the Earth
Sciences
Museum
and
Peter
Russell
Rock
Garden,
and
access
spaces
that
are
not
open
to
the
public
during
a
normal
museum
tour,
including
a
minerology
teaching
laboratory
and
research
spaces.
Step (virtually) right into the mining tunnel office, immerse yourself in the dinosaur pit, explore a teaching lab and hear stories from mineral collectors, and visit the metal isotope and geochemistry research laboratory to learn about research and scientific instruments from Brian Kendall and Chris Yakymchuk, professors in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Each area is filled with a variety of clickable facts, photos and recordings from experts to facilitate learning, self-guided discovery, and allow people to see the museum collection and exhibits in unique new ways.
The
virtual
tour
was
created
by
the
Earth
Sciences
Museum
in
collaboration
with
students
from
the
Knowledge
Integration
program.
Special
thanks
goes
to
Professors
Brian
Kendall,
Chris
Yakymchuk
and
John
Spoelstra
and
the
friends
and
supporters
of
the
Museum
who
were
involved
in
making
this
project
a
reality!
