Museum Of Life And Science

The Museum of Life and Science (formerly known as the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science and originally titled the NC Children's Museum) is a science museum located in Durham, North Carolina, USA, featuring an array of largely hands-on exhibits intended to illustrate concepts of natural science.

The museum exists on some 80 acres (320,000 m square) bisected by Murray Avenue. The main building is located on the north tract, along with the Butterfly House, Farmyard, Grayson's Cafe, Train, Explore the Wild nature park, Catch the Wind, and Dinosaur Trail. The museum features both indoor and outdoor learning environments.

The southern tract is now largely devoted to parking and administrative buildings, although prior to the construction of the new main building in the early 1990s, these structures contained the bulk of the museum's exhibit space. The Museum has come under criticism from visitors for not mentioning evolution in its exhibits, despite having the word "Life" in its title and several significant exhibits that would merit such mention.
