Recently, OAS received a special delivery of items that will become a central feature of our education and outreach program. OAS Educator Ziggy Prothro and Director Dr. John Taylor-Montoya had the opportunity to unbox them this last week. We are teaming with the Wonders on Wheels program to bring a traveling exhibit about Ice Age New Mexico for the public. Museum quality replicas of Ice Age megafauna will form a core part of that exhibition and our ongoing education program about the Ice Age. This is possible through support from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and the generosity of donors. You can get involved, too. Visit our website to find out how. Look for the WoW exhibition in spring 2027 to see them all and follow us for more updates and previews! ...

Thank you to the amazing staff and volunteers from OAS: Esther Peramune, Steven Needle, Ziggy Prothro, Isaiah Coan, and Olivia Durst. Most of all, thank you to everyone that came out to visit the Center and take part in the learning and fun! ...
