Description
The museum commissioned Taylor Studios on the strength of its prior Natural Regions Gallery work; the multi-sensory environment includes icy wind effects, textured flooring, a trickling stream, layered "dirty" ice formations, taxidermy specimens (musk ox, snowy owl, snowshoe hare), and a mammoth-sinking diorama scene.
