ALABAMA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY EXHIBITS CRIMSON GREEN
The Alabama Museum of Natural History would like to announce the opening of its newest exhibit, Crimson Green. This exhibit explores the different facets of our environment and how we affect them. The four main focuses of the exhibit are water, land, air, and global changes. Crimson Green not only shows us how we've adversely impacted the environment, but it also shows what we can do make changes for the better.

The exhibit will run for about 6 months, and it is located in the first floor Atrium Gallery of Smith Hall. Each paid adult visitor will also receive a free cloth shopping bag while supplies last. And don't forget to become a fan of the Alabama Museum of Natural History on Facebook. The Facebook page will keep you updated as to what is going on at the museum.
