Our Universe is Expanding: 24-Hour Grand Opening

The Nature Research Center - the new wing of the NC Museum of Natural Sciences
5 pm • Friday, April 20 through 5 pm • Saturday, April 21 • Raleigh

Visit the new Nature Research Center during the 24-hour grand opening celebration! There will be activities for everyone. The Nature Research Center (NRC), a new 80,000 square-foot wing, will bring research scientists and their work into the public eye, help demystify what can be an intimidating field of study, better prepare science educators and students, and inspire a new generation of young scientists. The centerpiece of the NRC will be the SECU Daily Planet, an immersive, three-story multi-media space that will link virtual to real nature and be the site of live programming on breaking science news.  Other features include a Meet the Scientist research station, Investigate Labs, a Citizen Science Center, a Science Immersion Theater and a showcase of new exhibits. Bring your family for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore!
