A TAIL AS OLD AS TIME
THE INCREDIBLE DOG
INTRODUCTION
Dogs! A Science Tail is an immersive 7,000 – 9,000-square-foot traveling exhibition that explores the bond between humans and dogs— one of the most successful interspecies partnerships of all time.
Divided into four sections and a demonstration space, this exhibition reveals where dogs came from, how dogs experience the world, what makes our bond with dogs so special, and how to care for our canine best friends. Immersive experiences invite guests to see, hear, smell, and think like a dog! With support from the California Science Center’s contacts and programming handbook, host museums can schedule demonstrations by trained professionals and their amazing canines. Guests will have opportunities to see real dogs, pretend to be dogs, and share their favorite dog photos and videos. Photo: the British Museum
Tail AS OLD AS Time
Discover the amazing origin story of dogs—the first domesticated animal—in this introductory section. Dig for fossils and uncover prehistoric human/dog burial sites. Analyze bones and DNA patterns to learn how scientists study dog domestication. A dynamic theater experience tells the story of how dogs mysteriously evolved from ancient wolves to become humans’ lovable companions.
