The Wild Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks (self-titled as 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 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.
