Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall
Perot Museum of Nature and Science 2201 N. Field St., Dallas, perotmuseum.org
The Perot celebrates its 10th anniversary with the Texas debut of a special exhibition showcasing the globally renowned conservationist most known for her work with chimpanzees in the wild. Produced in partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Jane Goodall Institute, the exhibit transports visitors of all ages to the African jungle through a multiscreen experience. There’s also a life-size replica of her research tent with hands-on activities, a hologram of Goodall at a makeshift campsite and another exhibit that uses interactive augmented reality to give guests a chance to match a chimp’s language. You’ll also learn about current work with chimpanzees by today’s scientists and conservationists. Tickets required in addition to general admission. Through Sept. 5
