What a journey it has been!
As we officially say goodbye to Sea Monsters Unearthed, we want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who made this incredible experience possible. To every visitor who walked through the exhibit, every family who explored with us, every school group, volunteer, staff member, and Friend who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Thank you for being part of something truly special.
A special thank you goes to all of our guest presenters and special event participants who helped bring the world of prehistoric oceans to life in unforgettable ways. Your passion and knowledge made this exhibit even more meaningful for our community.
To the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, thank you for trusting the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum with such an extraordinary treasure. Hosting these remarkable creatures and sharing its story with our guests has been an honor we will never forget.
This exhibit made waves in ways we could have never imagined, and it will absolutely go down in the books as one of the most memorable experiences in LSEM history!
