They’ll use it to transform a couple of spaces, including moving the museum entrance back to its original location near the IMAX theater.
Lazich said the space will be filled with exhibits showcasing the science being done in San Diego County. The current entrance will be transformed too, making use of its 32-foot high ceiling.“What we are planning to do is make into a gallery space where we can put a climbing tree that goes all the way up through that space rather than just using the bottom half," Lazich said.
“We are really excited and grateful to be getting this money," said a smiling Judy Gradwohl, president and CEO of the museum.Natural History Museum President & CEO Judy Gradwohl is shown inside the museum on August 23, 2023.
