    The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is well-known for its stunning, lifelike dioramas depicting animals and plants from around the world in their natural habitats. Secrets of the Diorama, a new, permanent exhibit created by the Academy, provides surprising answers to frequently asked questions about these beautiful scenes behind glass. The exhibit provides insight into the scientific fieldwork, painstaking taxidermy and skilled artistry required to bring each diorama to life. Touchable items, including animal body parts, add to the experience. In Asian Hall. Free with general admission.
