T. Boone Pickens Life Then and Now at the Perot Museum of Nature & Science

Opened in December 2012, the Perot Museum of Nature & Science (Perot Museum) sits in Victory Park. The museum was the result of a unique 2006 merger of three cultural institutions—the Dallas Museum of Natural History (established in 1936), The Science Place (established in 1946) and the Dallas Children’s Museum (established in 1995). Today, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science consist of two campuses: the primary campus in Victory Park and a secondary campus in Fair Park. Occupying 11,566 square feet of the top floor on the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the T. Boone Pickens Life Then and Now exhibition follows the evolution of life on Earth for 4 billion years with a focus on locations like the Beringia land bridge that allowed people to migrate from Siberia to prehistoric Alaska across the current day Bering Strait as well as towering dinosaurs, rare fossils and virtual paleo-habitats. Notably, the soundscape for this exhibit was designed University of Texas at Dallas students.
