Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs opens Jan. 14
Member Preview Jan. 14 | 9-11am


"Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs" sniffs out the facts on dogs and explores what makes the human/dog relationship so unique. Through multimedia displays, dioramas and interactive stations visitors can learn about the different types of dogs, how they are related to wolves, how they have helped humans and what we can do to help them.

Volunteer to help interpret in the exhibit. Training begins in January.
 
Created by Wonderworks Exhibits Co., the exhibit is sponsored by Judy and Henry Morris.
