Join us for the grand opening of our newest permanent exhibit! Did you know that there were once camels and bear dogs living in the Piedmont region? Learn about the Piedmont world 23 million years ago, where horses roamed and bizarre-looking beasts called our region home. Celebrate the Miocene epoch by creating your own fabulous headgear, prowl with Saber-tooths, meet living relatives of Miocene animals from the Schiele Museum’s animal ambassador program, or test your speed as a digitigrade along with other fun activities.
