Earlier this summer Edmonton’s TELUS World of Science opened the doors to its newest permanent exhibit. 

The Nature Exchange gallery encourages visitors to explore nature and the outdoors, to find things like bark or rock and then take it into the science centre to share information and make trades for other cool natural artifacts.

Visitors become natural history researchers as they catalogue, interpret, analyze, interact and get hands-on with unique aspects of the gallery.

The idea for the Nature Exchange originated at Science North in Sudbury, Ontario.
