This Father's Day make it special and visit the San Diego Natural History Museum with Dad!
On Sunday June 17th in honor of Father's Day The NAT will have FREE admission for Dad's with purchase of a full-priced child/youth ticket for General Admission.*
Enjoy the newest exhibit: The Horse a comprehensive exhibition on the enduring bond between horses and
humanity, opened at the San Diego Natural History Museum on June 1, 2012, and
will remain on view through January 20, 2013.
The Horse explores early interactions between horses and humans and
shows how horses have, over time, influenced civilization including major
changes in warfare, trade, transportation, agriculture, sports, and many other
facets of human life. The exhibition, which has never before been seen on the
West Coast, is included with general Museum admission.
“The Horse coming
to the west is special; the horse, we should all remember, is how we got here,”
says Joe Harper, CEO, president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred
Club. “Horses are at the very core of what America is all about. They are a
large part of our history and they live on with us today as both symbol and
reality of all the things that are good and true and strong in our society. I’d
encourage all locals and San Diego visitors to do their insides and their
insights a favor and go see The Horse.”
The exhibition showcases spectacular fossils, models,
dioramas, and cultural objects from around the world. Visitors entering the
exhibition are immediately captivated by a high-definition video
projection of a beautiful thoroughbred horse moving across a giant screen. A
large-scale video and computer interactive allows visitors to peek inside a
life-size, moving horse to learn about its anatomy and biology. They also
encounter a 220-square-foot diorama depicting some
of the horse species that existed ten million years ago in what is now
Nebraska, and representations of the horse in art from the Paleolithic to the
present. The exhibition also examines exciting new archaeological discoveries
concerning the domestication of the horse and looks at the role of horses in
sport, from medieval times on.

ReplyDeleteThe San Diego Natural History Museum is in Balboa Park so you can make a day out of it, enjoy a picnic and explore the Museums. It's a great place for families to learn and have fun! :)
