Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks (informally called The Wild Center) is a natural history museum that opened July 4, 2006 in New York state's Adirondack Park. The Museum was designed by Hellmuth Obata + Kassabaum, the same firm that designed the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC, in collaboration with The Office of Charles P. Reay. The Wild Center occupies a 31 acre site in the town of Tupper Lake, New York, the approximate geographic center of the six million acre (24,000 km²) Adirondack Park. The initial cost of this facility was $30 million.
The Wild Center has living exhibits, some of which are outdoors. There are exhibits on Bogs, Alpine Ecosystems, Rivers, Lakes, and the Ice Age. The Museum is open year round.
