Hold Onto Your Stetsons, Houston! The Houston Museum of Natural Science Has a Dino-tastic 2023 Planned
Alright, science enthusiasts and lovers of all things sparkly, gather 'round! It's time to dissect the exciting exhibits coming to the Houston Museum of Natural Science in 2023. Forget that New Year's Resolution about hitting the gym, this year we're resolving to hit the museum with wonder and maybe a shameless amount of glee.
Fossil Fanatics Rejoice!
First up, we have "Morian Hall of Paleontology: Where the Past Comes Alive (…Ish)". Okay, maybe the dinosaurs won't actually come alive (safety first, people!), but you can bet there'll be enough T-Rex teeth and giant sloth claws to make you feel like you've wandered into Jurassic Park. This permanent exhibit is a must-see for anyone who's ever dreamt of riding a triceratops (guilty as charged).
Mummy Dearest: King Tutankhamun Takes Center Stage
Calling all archaeology aficionados! Dust off your fedora and khakis because "King Tut's Tomb: Discovery Experience" is gracing the museum with its golden sarcophagus-ness from June 23rd onwards. This exhibit will take you on a thrilling journey through the excavation of King Tut's tomb, from the initial discovery to the dazzling treasures unearthed. Just don't get caught sneaking any ancient Egyptian artifacts into your backpack – those security guards have seen it all.
Sharks! Separating Fact from Fin-ction
Brace yourselves, because "Sharks! The Meg, the Monsters & the Myths" is swimming into the museum this July. This exhibit will explore the fascinating world of these underwater apex predators, separating the truth from the Hollywood hype (looking at you, Jaws). Learn about different shark species, their role in the ecosystem, and maybe even overcome your fear of taking a dip in the ocean (although, we can't guarantee that last one).
Beyond the Big Three: A Museum smorgasbord
But wait, there's more! The Houston Museum of Natural Science isn't just about dinosaurs, mummies, and killer fish (although, those are pretty darn cool). They've got a smorgasbord of other exhibits to tantalize your curious mind, from the sparkling Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals to the Cockrell Butterfly Center, where you can get up close and personal with some seriously beautiful winged friends.
So, there you have it, folks! The Houston Museum of Natural Science is serving up a smorgasbord of wonder in 2023. Whether you're a paleontology nerd, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates a good sparkly rock, there's something for everyone. So grab your tickets, dust off your sense of curiosity, and get ready to explore the wonders of science (and maybe take a selfie with a giant dinosaur skeleton – we won't judge).
