Our Exhibits
EXHIBITS
Tellus Science Museum has three galleries dedicated to special exhibits that change every six months to a year, so there is always something new to see at the Museum. Plus we have our permanent exhibits such as the Fossil Gallery.
- The Vault, located in the Weinman Mineral Gallery, has featured gems and jeweled objects, archaeological artifacts, Southeastern and international minerals, and architectural stones.
- The Crossroads Gallery in the Millar Science and Motion Gallery has displayed vintage motorcycles, model trains, examples of communications technology, and even a fighter jet cockpit.
- Discovery Garden in the Collins Family My Big Backyard has had exhibits on brainteasers and puzzles, simple machines, transportation and even germs!
