The Dinosaurs of China
The Dinosaurs of China are traveling thousands of miles and millions of years for a June arrival at the Miami Science Museum. Join us for the premiere of the finest collection of Chinese dinosaur fossils ever seen in the United States. We’ve joined with the venerable Beijing Museum of Natural History to exhibit 14 enormous articulated dinosaur skeletons and 52 spectacular individual specimens, including 8 of the most rare feathered dinosaurs and birds from the fossil beds at Liaoning. Together with unique fully-sculpted models, interactive and multimedia experiences, and a children’s paleo-discovery area, these magnificent creatures will come alive for South Florida families at this once-in-a-lifetime event.
 The Reclamation Project/Native Flags
A collaborative eco-art intervention by Miami artist, Xavier Cortada
The Reclamation Project explores our ability to coexist with the natural world. It reminds us of what our community looked like before all the concrete was poured. For a few months, mangrove seedlings will "reclaim" the island where they thrived a few decades ago. Afterwards, the seedlings will be planted on Biscayne Bay. This new mangrove colony will eventually rebuild ecosystems above and below the water line.
 Immersion Theatre
In "Vital Space" you will be called upon to explore inside the body of an infected astronaut. Using nano-robots, you will use the touch screens and compete in a series of virus fighting games to save your team member. In the highly-interactive exhibit, you will be immersed in a representational reconstruction of our human biology traveling through the major organs to the cellular structure and beyond into DNA.
 Newton's Notions
Everything moves, but why? How? Isaac Newton figured it out and so can you in this exhibit that invites you to push, pull, lift, stop, go, drop and bounce your way to discovering more about how the world works. It's a fun, hands-on way to learn about the universal laws of motion.
 40 Tons of Coral in New York City
Dr. Roy Waldo Miner documented the coral reefs of the Bahamas in the 1920s and 1930s. These unique hand-colored photographic images from the collection of the Miami Science Museum document the ingenuity and technology required to collect and transport 40 tons of coral for a two-story diorama at the American Museum of Natural History. Open April 2005 - Ongoing
