Sustainable Shelter Exhibit at the North Carolina Arboretum

A new exhibit premiering at The North Carolina Arboretum takes a hands-on look at shelter through the perspective of "home," giving visitors a chance to explore how animals and humans have adapted to different environments through a diversity of structures.

This novel exhibit reveals innovative new and ancient technologies that could help restore the health and viability of our natural world.

The exhibit is funded by a grant from the United States Department of Energy, and was developed by the Center for Sustainable Building Research, and the Bell Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota.  

Sustainable Shelter will be on display at The North Carolina Arboretum through January 2, 2012. The exhibition will be open to the public during regular Baker Exhibit Center hours: 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. daily.

Exhibit admission is in addition to the standard parking fee ($8 per personal vehicle), and is $3 for adults and $2 for students age 18 and under. Admission and parking is always free for Arboretum Society members. To learn more, click here.

Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty is a proud sponsor of the Sustainable Shelter exhibit.
