What is
treasure? How do people hunt for treasure? What do YOU treasure?
We like to Treasure our local Museums - especially when the weather is hot and humid and the pool is filled with people. I like to take my kids to a Children's Museum for the day to explore, have fun and enjoy themselves while learning about new and exciting things!
The
science, technology, history, and thrill of treasure hunting are explored in the
fantastic traveling exhibition Treasure! The Hunt Has Just Begun. This
joint project of Burpee Museum of Natural History and Discovery Center Museum in Rockford IL, features 5,000 square feet of artifacts, hands-on
activities, videos, biographies, and tales from around the world.
The
traveling exhibition opens May 25 and runs through September 2.
Delve
into the technology employed by treasure hunters and focus on the people and
personalities lured by the promise of prosperity. Be enticed by shipwreck and
treasure site artifacts, and learn to use the tools you'd need to find a
fortune. Dig for treasure and pan for gold. Operate a Remote Operated Vehicle
(ROV) in a tank of water. Use a metal detector. Use maps, compasses and clues to
locate treasure. Learn how to geocache. You can even try your hand at cracking a
safe!
Treasure!
can be uncovered in the Woodward Exhibit Hall. Admission: $2 for Members; $4 for
