The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History will celebrate its 100th anniversary on the National Mall on March 17th with the opening of its newest exhibition, the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins.


Visitors will be able to explore displays depicting early life, milestones in human evolutionary history, snapshots of early survival, an extensive human family tree and research stations depicting the latest research from scientists in the Smithsonian Human Origins Program. The 15,000-square-foot exhibition is the result of an international collaboration with over 60 research and educational organizations and over 100 researchers from around the world.
