Current Exhibit - The GEEE! in Genome.
A special exhibit from the Canadian Museum of Nature
At 2,500 square feet, “The GEEE! in Genome” exhibit is The Exploration Places’ largest exhibit ever. The exhibit aims to demystify the science of genomics, challenge misconceptions and encourage questions. Visitors are asked to ponder such ethical issues as genetic testing, gene therapy, human cloning, GMO labeling and safety, DNA databanks and access to genetic information.
Electronic opinion poll stations in the exhibition give the public a chance to input their thoughts on these controversial issues. This valuable feedback helps the project stay in tune with what Canadians are thinking.
This bilingual exhibit will engage you and challenge you to think about life – from its basic component - the cell to larger and extremely complex issues in genetic engineering. It is a fascinating exploration of a cutting-edge area of science. Come discover The GEEE! in Genome … and discover more about yourself!
School Programs on Genetics are available in May and June 2010.
