The exhibit is over 40 years old, and we are getting ready to upgrade and renovate it. So, I was wondering if any other museums out there have any immersive exhibits, particularly reconstructions from the past (paleontology, etc). I recall having
gone through several set-up like caves, where it feels like you are in a cave and little displays are present on the walls. The one we have here as various insects, fish, and amphibians throughout, and trees/plants in the environment and over the walk-way guests use to walk-through. I suppose I am simply looking to see what other museums have done, what has and has not worked for them, and any suggestions people might have.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:
