Local museum uncovers revamped exhibit The Texas Science and Natural History Museum opened its latest paleontology exhibit on Jan. 28. Attendees can immerse themselves in how crea- tures lived through a video game, interactive panels and learning where the featured fossils were found

across Texas. The present

Touchscreen panels give visitors a closer look at creatures in their habitat.

Liam Norris, exhibition and outreach associate and paleontologist, said the greatest upgrade is the amount of information visitors can now intake from the exhibit. Approximately 77% of the specimens in the exhibit are from Texas—some were discovered by UT Austin alumni. What else? The space also features the hands-on exhibit, Discovery Center, which opened in March 2025.
