Carolyn Connerat, Texas Science and Natural History Museum

Evolution of Texas Science and Natural History Museum

Managing Director Carolyn Connerat will discuss the recent restoration and revitalization of Texas Science and Natural History Museum. This 85-year-old museum on the UT Austin campus informs visitors about life in the natural world, from the formation of planets, through the age of dinosaurs, to current fauna and flora and the impact of environmental pressures on ecosystems.

About Our Speaker:

The museum reopened in September with new building improvements as well as engaging and colorful exhibits on the Great Hall floor, including a life-size Tyrannosaur. The museum just launched the Evolution Campaign to improve and update exhibits on the other floors of the museum, as well as restore the Dinosaur Trackways building.
