“Animationland” is a fantastically immersive journey to create stories using art and science. Visitors can channel their creativity using animation basics such as storyboarding, sketching, stop-motion movie making, and more.
Opening Sept. 19, the “Skulls, Everyone’s Got One” exhibit will surprise visitors who can see how their skull measures up to a menagerie of ancient and modern animals. s.
