Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People: A History of Citizen Science
San Diego Natural History Museum 1788 El Prado, San Diego, California 92101
This new exhibition highlights naturalists—both past and present—and the impact their work and observations has had on science as we know it today. Rare books, art, photographs, and historical documents from our Research Library’s 56,000-volume collection will be displayed alongside plant and animal specimens and brought to life through touchable objects and multimedia experiences that allow deeper access to the works on display. The overarching theme of Extraordinary Ideas is a simple one: you do not need to be a scientist to participate in science.
