This exhibit of Charles Knight paintings is displayed in the Florida Museum's Hall of Florida Fossils: Evolution of Life and Land.

This exhibition, based on the "Africa" permanent exhibit at the Field Museum of Chicago, explores the many facets of Africa — its people, its lands, its rich cultural history and its stories. Inside Africa takes museum-goers of all cultural backgrounds and ages into the African experience, allowing them to discover firsthand the vitality, richness and significance of African peoples and communities in the context of a journey to selected sites on the African continent. The exhibit also includes sections on the African Diaspora, along with a section on the Underground Railroad.

Journey into the heart of Africa and experience its people and rich cultural history with the new Inside Africa exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History, opening March 15, 2008.

The installation of approximately 40 photographs by University of Florida faculty and graduates celebrates almost a half century of the innovative and influential photography program.

Cultivating Spirits: The Art of Sepik River Yam Displays focuses on the ritual display of yams in Middle Sepik River societies occurring around the times of planting and harvesting. The peoples represented in the exhibition include Abelam, Boiken, Nukuma, Kwoma and Wogumas.Yams are not only a vital food source, but are thought by some peoples to be the embodiment of clan ancestors and by extension male power that is promoted throughout clan-based associations. Male members of these yam cults construct enormous pitched-roof houses for storage and display of yams during harvest and planting rites. The houses are filled with painted reliefs and free-standing sculptures. The yams, reaching up to 12 feet in length, are decorated and displayed in elaborate constructions. The essential purpose of these ceremonies is to enhance the status of male yam cultivators, and by extension their clan members and ancestors. Ultimately, the exchange and consumption of yams between clans reinforces community partnerships. The exhibition will include 14 works of art from the Harn collection and 11 on loan from the C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation. Made possible by S.F.I.

Tours are necessary for the safety of our animals and our guests due to the zoo's laboratory design. Tours are an additional teaching tool for training students on public speaking and public service. The scheduling of tours allows the students to plan the time between their classes more efficiently.
