    Experience a 5,000-mile adventure into the world of fossils through the eyes of an artist and a scientist. Cruisin’ the Fossil Freeway with Artist Ray Troll and Paleontologist Kirk Johnson combines art and science with a strong dose of imagination. Ancient killer pigs, saber-toothed cats and “the angry bugs of Zion” are once more given life through the whimsical artwork of Alaska artist Ray Troll. Visitors will explore evolution, extinction and early life through Troll’s imagined scenes from millions of years ago as well as rarely seen fossils from the Academy’s world-renowned collection.
