In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, in which he argued that all life forms are related through common descent and that different species emerged (and continue to emerge) as a result of natural selection. It is widely considered to be one of the most important books in science.

But he didn’t dream it up one day walking in the park. It was the result of what he saw on a five year voyage around the world, studying the plants and animals of South America, the Galápagos Islands, and Australia, followed by years of research and experimentation. And his perspective and conclusions were only possible in light of then-recent geological and paleontological discoveries.

Darwin & Dinosaurs is a story-based, interactive exhibit that sets the stage before Darwin’s famous voyage, follows him around the world as he finds clues indicating life evolves, and concludes with modern discoveries that have proved him right. Fascinating, engaging and, most importantly, educational, D&D lets visitors see the world as Darwin did. 

This exhibit will highlight a portion of the content from the Neville’s National and State recognized award-winning exhibit: Delay of Game: African American Football Players in Titletown. The Green Bay Packers have been around for more than a hundred years, but African American players did not join until 1950. Learn about these players’ experiences, struggles, and impacts that have made a difference in this community.

The Annual Showcase was a juried exhibition featuring the artwork of NWTC Artisan and Business Center (ABC) students, staff, and faculty. Artists who have participated in or been supported by ABC programming are encouraged to apply and participate in the Annual Showcase.

The Artisan and Business Center promotes the production of art in the NWTC district as a means of fostering the creation of new job opportunities through the entrepreneurial model. NWTC seeks to provide technical and business training for aspiring and practicing artisans. The College promotes the appreciation and awareness of art through collaborative partnerships, year-round credit and non-credit classes, as well as open studio.

Spectacular Science is the Neville Public Museum’s gallery focused on subjects of science. This exhibit provides the museum with the opportunity to present four different mini science exhibits with hands-on experiences. Spectacular Science is located on the museum’s first floor and rotates a themed section once a year. 

Current mini science exhibits in Spectacular Science include Candy, Engineering, Light, and Weather.
