About the exhibition
The largest and most comprehensive traveling exhibition ever created on the history, biology, and evolution of dogs.
The exhibit is divided into four sections, each featuring artifacts, photo murals, sculpted models of modern dog breeds, and dioramas of taxidermied wild canines (all ethically collected after natural death), along with interactive, hands-on components that bring key concepts to life.

- Test your own nose against a dog's powerful sense of smell
- Climb into an avalanche scene to experience what it's like to be rescued by a search-and-rescue dog
