Abstract:
Scheduled to open April 7, 2000, the new North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh will be the largest natural science museum in the Southeast. The seven- story, 200,000-square-foot structure quadruples the old museum's exhibit space. The museum's focus will be serving as an indoor field guide to the natural diversity of the state. A featured attraction is the 112-million-year-old skeleton of a predatory Arcocanthosaurus, which is displayed nowhere else in the world.
