Skulls from Near and Far at the RWP Museum


Sunday, January 26, 11:00am-12:00pm
Monday, January 27, 11:00am-12:00pm

Have you ever come across an animal skull in the woods and wondered what it was? Would you like to learn more about the anatomy of animal skulls and how to identify them? Then come to theΒ Museum of Natural History and PlanetariumΒ for our program β€œSkulls from Near and Far”. We will begin with an overview of the skulls one is most likely to encounter in our area, followed by a chance to see dozens of specimens from around the world which are not normally on public display.

This program is being offered twice, it is not a two-part programΒ 

Program Fee per Session:Β $3 per person, includes museum admission. FREEΒ forΒ museum members.Β This is not a drop off program.Β 

 

Venue

Have you seen green Adirondack chairs appearing in Roger Williams Park? With funding from the @aarplivable #aarpcommunitychallenge grant program and the hard work of @pvdparks to install them, these Conversation Nooks invite visitors to sit, unwind, and connect with neighbors and loved ones. 

Find four spots along Frederick C. Green Memorial Blvd. and near the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium.

Even in the winter months, we hope these seating nooks will offer a few moments of reprieve in the outdoors when neighbors need it most.
A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.

For updates and more information about the project, follow @pvdparks
