The Invisible Art:
The Peabody Museum Dioramas

The Museum’s eight dioramas represent habitat regions throughout North America. Developed around a large animal, each diorama highlights the variety of life in specific natural regions. Teachers are invited to choose areas that fit their curriculum. Hands-on specimens are available for discussion of the High Arctic Tundra and Shortgrass Plains dioramas.
