Free

Be transported to deep time during the Wagner’s upcoming February First Saturday Open House!

Saturday, February 1st from 12 – 4pm explore the Wagner’s vast natural history collection and rock out to the evolution of hearing as Paleontologist and singer/songwriter Matthew Bonnan and his band perform a selection of songs from his captivating pop/rock song cycle, Once Upon Deep Time.

A multi-media project including song & animation, Once Upon Deep Time tells the story of how we humans evolved to perceive sound. The performance will take place at 2pm in the Wagner’s Lecture Hall with Q & A with the band to follow.

The Wagner’s Exhibit Hall will be open for self-guided exploration throughout the day, as well as ongoing hands-on activities for families in the gallery, including a real shark tooth dig and impression-making with fossils from our teaching collection!
