Have you ever wondered why there is a nineteenth-century horse drawn carriage on campus? Did you know that this carriage has been converted into a camera obscura? How many times have you passed by the large blue whale skeleton kept in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum without actually going inside to see it? This is your chance to visit and explore these sites!
