May 1 - June 19, 2016 - The 3,000-square-foot exhibit includes interactive Native American tools used to farm, grind and cook corn, an interactive station on genetic modifications of corn over time and more. The Science, History and Culture of Corn takes visitors back more than 10,000 years to learn about the evolution of corn from the time of the ancient Mesoamericans--when the teosinte plant was first domesticated and shaped for specific traits. Visitors will be amazed at the scientific, economic and cultural significance and impact corn has on everyday life, both past and present.
