Ice has sculpted our planet for millennia, shaping the landscapes we see today and connecting distant continents, paving the way for migration. Opening on June 7 at NHMU, Mysteries of the Ice Ages invites visitors to explore 80,000 years of Earth’s dramatic history, uncovering the mysteries of ice and the remarkable adaptations that allowed life to survive in an unforgiving world. Featuring more than 120 specimens, incredible artifacts, and informative interactives, the exhibition brings to life a time when massive glaciers ruled the land and ancient creatures roamed wild.

Exhibit Highlights:
Encounter iconic Ice Age creatures like muskoxen, caribou, wolves, woolly mammoths, and cave bears.

Step into the world of the Neanderthals and discover how they adapted to life in the freezing cold.

Explore the ancient Beringia land bridge that once connected Asia to North America.

Learn how the dramatic landforms we recognize today were carved by ice sheets during the last glaciation.

View real tools and artifacts—thousands of years old—crafted by the Tuniit (Dorset) and Thule-Inuit peoples.
