The exhibit highlights the importance of research in archaeological discovery from undergraduate student research to the professionals. Timed tickets are required and must be purchased in advance. Time slots are 2 hours in duration. Face coverings are required for guests over 2 years old. Water fountains are not available so be sure to bring a water bottle along.
