The Texas Science and Natural History Museum has unveiled a major upgrade to its basement exhibit, transforming it into an immersive prehistoric world filled with new lighting, sound, animations and interactive features. Visitors can explore Texas fossils—from ancient cats to marine predators—and engage with hands‑on displays, including a survival game developed at UT Austin. Museum staff say the goal is to help students connect with deep time and see how science evolves with new discoveries.
