The American Museum of Natural History is presenting the exhibition ‘Nature's Fury: the Science of Natural Disasters’ until August of next year.
This exhibition, which opened towards the end of last month, showcases earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and volcanoes. Visitors purchase tickets that give them a timed entry. Once inside, they will learn about the causes, what happened afterwards, and how people manage to pick up the pieces.
This will be achieved through interactive displays that will allow them to monitor earthquakes in real time, manipulate the model of an earthquake fault, create a virtual volcano, and get to stand in the middle of a tornado. It also features an interactive map of New York City showing how it was affected by Hurricane Sandy. People should come away with an idea of how scientists plan and prepare for such natural disasters.
The exhibit was originally produced by the Field Museum in Chicago, but has been improved upon by the museum.
People from all over New York City, including Murray Hill, will likely want to visit this exhibition. Organizers may have invested in flyer printing services to market the event to those in the community.
‘Nature's Fury’ will be on display at the American Museum of Natural History's Gallery 3 until August 9, 2015. Tickets, which include the museum admission, are $27 for adults, $22 for seniors and students, and $16 for children.
