Renovated in 2011, the Hall of Life showcases the Earth’s 4.6 billion year old history. The circular hall (3,800 sq. ft.) inspires visitors to seek a deep appreciation of their place in the history of the planet, challenging them with a fundamental question: “What are you going to do with your moment of time?” Design highlights include wall-size murals showing ancient environments and a timeline depicting important episodes in the history of life. Divided into six sections, Hall of Life takes visitors through basic scientific principles, major eras of geologic time, and student- and staff-designed exhibits, featuring current museum research or recently discoveries made by students during fieldwork.
