EXHIBITS an Evolution
CHAPTER 2 EXHIBITS An Evolution Frances Kruger, Not Finished After All These Years Liz Clancy, and Museums have many important functions, but exhibits are what most Kristine A. Haglund people come to see. In addition to educating and entertaining, exhibits bring visitors in the door, generating revenue that supports Museum operations. More than a century after John F. Campion spoke at the Museum’s opening exercises on July 1, 1908, his observation that “a museum of natural history is never finished” is especially true in the world of exhibits (Fig. 2.1)—and in fact needs to stay true for the Museum to remain relevant (Alton 2000). Times change, expectations change, demographics change, and opportuni- ties change. This chapter is a selective, not-always-chronological look at some of the ways that the Museum’s exhibits have changed with the times, evolving from static displays and passive observation to immersive experi- ences to increased interactivity and active visitor involvement. Starting from a narrow early focus, the Museum went on to embrace the goal of “bringing the world to Denver” and, more recently, to a renewed regional emphasis and a vision of creating a community of critical thinkers who understand the lessons of the past and act as responsible stewards of the future.1 Figure 2.1.

Dear Denver Zoo Supporters The role of zoos in the global conservation effort intensifies with each passing year as animals face growing pressure in their natural habitats, and experience an alarming increase in those classified as vulnerable, threatened and endangered. Zoos, particularly those accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), are called upon to help save and protect species, both within their gates and beyond. Denver Zoo has answered that call. Since 1896, we have established ourselves as a leader in the protection of wildlife, dedicating staff and funding to more than 600 conservation projects in 62 countries on six continents.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s Education Department offers a unique look at our zoo—the zoo at night. We offer three sequential overnight programs designed to build upon students’ understanding of the natural world. Within these programs, we strive to combine learning with curiosity, passion with dedication, and advocacy with perspective. By sharing our knowledge of, and excitement about, environmental education, we hope to create quality experiences that foster a sense of wonder, share knowledge, and advocate active involvement with wildlife and wild places. Overnight experiences offer a deeper and more profound look at what a zoo really is. The children involved have time to process what they experience, while encountering firsthand the wonderful relationships people can have with wild animals and wild places. The program offers three special adventures: Animal Adaptations, Wolf Woods, and Sleep with the Manatees, including several specialty programs. Activities range from a guided tour of zoo buildings and grounds (including a peek behind-the-scenes), to educational games, animal demonstrations, late night hikes, and presentations of bio-facts.

Cowgirl Hat Ball, Terry Maker, 2 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear All, JOIN US We cannot wait to see you again! It’s been way too long. THIS SUMMER FOR EXHIBITIONS, HISTORIC TOURS, During this unprecedented time, we have remained very busy to bring you an enriching AND VIRTUAL CONCERTS AND SUMMER CAMP diversion from the news cycle. As a museum, we aim to be a source of comfort, culture, truth, and entertainment, even during a pandemic. Our staff has proven their resilience and been extremely resourceful and creative—reimagining our great programs for virtual experiences, collecting photos and videos that capture the moment (submit yours to our curator of history at [email protected]), designing reopening protocols, and planning for our new future. And while we’ve been doing all of that, Ann Macca in our education department has spearheaded a mask-making project to protect City employees, and Jared Thompson and Brack Lee in our exhibits department have been making plexiglass protectors for customer service desks across the City. This amazing group of people has been pivoting with grace. In the following pages, you’ll find varied selections for anyone needing to fill their minds with beauty and wonder. We reluctantly made the decision to take our summer camps and summer concerts online this season due to the ongoing restrictions on gathering related to the coronavirus. We are confident that these will be the same high-quality experiences to which you have become accustomed.
