Hefner Museum's Imaginarium Gets a Facelift
Changes are coming and we are excited! Thanks to a grant funded by the Ohio Environmental Education Fund, Hefner Museum's Imaginarium will get a much deserved update. New wall exhibits and a vivaria showcasing cool invertebrates and the minute workings of nature that often go unnoticed under our feet will be on full display. We know you will understand the need to close the Imaginarium temporarily while we prepare for these great changes. Since Miami campus transitioned to online classes to reduce exposure to the coronavirus, we will take this opportunity to work really hard on the earlier mentioned updates. In the meantime, wash your hands, stay well, and know we will see you soon to explore the nature in your own backyard and beyond.
