Hahn Hall of Biodiversity features a variety of taxidermied African mammals including a lion, hyena, and several antelope. The exhibit hall is made possible through a donation from the Dr. T. Marshall Hahn Jr. family of Blacksburg.

Special Exhibits

DinosaursThe Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont Hall of Ancient LifeDinosaurs features spectacular dinosaur displays from the mighty Acrocanthosaurus to the plant-eater Tenontosaurus. Life-size casts dominate the Hall of Ancient Life, with a 40-foot long skeleton cast of an Acrocanthosaurus, a massive carnivorous theropod dinosaur that existed in what is now North America during the early Cretaceous period, between 125 million and 100 million years ago.

Stories from SkeletonsColumn Cases in The Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont Hall of Ancient LifeSkeletons serve several important functions. Stories from Skeletons presents visitors with the evidence that skeletons provide to science, including their vital role for living animals, the differences in skeletons between various living animals, their importance in determining relationships between extinct animals and those living today, as well as the evidence they present in determining diet and social interactions of humans throughout history. This exhibit, features a variety of specimens from the VMNH collections as well as objects on loan from UNC-Chapel Hill and DHR. Sponsored by: River Community Bank.

Living on the WaterSpecial Exhibits HallJuly 26, 2014 – July 26, 2015The story of marine biology and the history of human interaction with the marine environments of Virginia begin with the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. This exhibit will cover life on the Bay and Virginia’s tidal waters from pre-history to today.Sponsored by: Dominion Foundation, Bassett Furniture Industries, Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County, Carter Bank & Trust, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and NOAA.

Programs Exhibits

The museum offers innovative, award-winning exhibits highlighting the unique features of Virginia’s natural history. All exhibits and presentations are correlated to Virginia and North Carolina education standards. The following is an overview of the 2014–15 exhibits.

The Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont Hall of Ancient Life serves as an exciting gathering space that introduces the museum’s research and collections.

Displays include:• Allosaurus• Eobalaenoptera• Pteranodon• Stromatolite

Viewable working laboratories include the Elster Foundation Vertebrate Paleontology and Archaeology Labs.

The Hooker Furniture Discovery Reef provides an exciting underwater adventure area for young children. Learn about the ocean and explore the sea on a sunken ship. Enjoy crafts, puppets, and a reading area.

The Uncovering Virginia gallery features representations of six research sites in Virginia where VMNH scientists and their colleagues have worked or are working. There is a range of geographic locations around the Commonwealth that span a broad interval of time from 300 million to 300 years ago.

The Lee & George W. Lester, II How Nature Works gallery demonstrates how energy from within the earth’s crust and energy from the sun have shaped the earth.

In the How Nature Works: Rocks exhibit, dramatic landscape models reveal how the world is shaped by geological forces that are themselves powered by the enormous energy deep withinthe planet.

A striking display of plants and animals fills the How Nature Works: Life exhibit. Visitors learn that almost all living things on earth depend, directly or indirectly, on the sun as an energy source.
