SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THE NEW DINOSAUR ROUNDUP AT THE NATIONAL COWGIRL MUSEUM AND HALL OF FAME. 
Round up your herd and join us for some prehistoric fun in the new Dinosaur Roundup exhibit, opening June 7 at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, our temporary home during construction. Learn about our rich prehistoric past, meet some of North Texas’ earliest inhabitants, and view real fossils and bones. Check our Web site for more information about this new exhibit. 

Dinosaur Roundup joins KIDSPACE, the Hands On Studio, and the Preview Center, all part of our exhibit experience on the lower level of the National Cowgirl Museum. After investigating downstairs, be sure to travel upstairs to enjoy the Cowgirl experience.

Construction on the new facility is moving along! Be sure to check our progress by linking to our live webcam. The Omni Theater, an IMAX dome, will reopen later this summer in a BIG way – with a new digital sound system, enhanced lighting, updated guest facilities, and new IMAX® adventures, including Dinosaurs Alive!, Deep Sea and Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs. Check our Web site often for Omni reopening events and film schedules. 


IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO START THINKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR!
The 2008-2009 school year promises to be an exciting one for the Museum of Science and History. Field trips, Discovery Labs on Wheels and Distance Learning will begin on September 2, 2008, and go through May 29, 2009. Look for our 2008-2009 School Program Planner online in mid-August upon your return to school so you can begin planning your visit. Be sure to book early to ensure the date, program and time of your choice. For more information about our school programs, check out the For Educators link on our Web site.
