Apparitions of the Ice Age: Paleo-Art
About the Exhibition
Decades of research and investigation have uncovered a compelling and detailed story about change, extinction, and survival at Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in Las Vegas, Nevada. These stories come to life through paintings that represent four snapshots in time over the last 100,000 years. Discover the science and collaboration behind our understanding of Ice Age Las Vegas and our changing environment.
