New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Reopening

The New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is reopening after being closed for seven months, featuring new exhibits and renovations. There's a new gift shop, skylights, and sewer line. Some of the exhibits are also getting a refresh. Guests will notice the plexiglass over the lava floor has been replaced, so it will glow even brighter. There is also a new exhibit to enjoy called 'Animal Armor' about crocodiles, tortoises, dinosaurs, and how their armor inspired human military uniforms.
