The Genetics exhibit is now permanently closed.

When the exhibit originally opened, the 13-year-long Human Genome Project to sequence the entire human genome was still a year from completion. In the two decades since its unveiling, genetics science has progressed significantly, and the gallery will now be used for exhibits focused on art, science and technology. 

You can continue to visit the Baby Chick Hatchery in its current location in the Genetics gallery until late October (except Mondays and Tuesdays).

The Hatchery will then go on a short hiatus as it is moved into its new location in the Farm Tech exhibit where it will be available to visit from the end of November.
