Wild Ocean
Witness an
incredible frenzy in the ocean waters off South Africa as billions of
sardines migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Coast—setting the scene for a
spectacular feeding event that draws breaching whales, feeding sharks,
diving gannets, herding dolphins and massive bait balls into a colossal
convergence of ocean life. Dive into this underwater ecosystem and explore
the economic and cultural impact the migration has on coastal communities.

Nature Unleashed:
Inside Natural Disasters
March 1 – May 2
Explore natural
disasters through stunning displays, state-of-the-art animations,
large-scale images, and cultural artifacts that reveal the dynamic
relationship we have with the Earth, in a stunning new special exhibition.
Museum visitors can witness what it’s like to stand inside a roaring
tornado; trigger an underwater earthquake and simulate a tsunami; create a
virtual volcano; touch and examine real rock and lava specimens; discover
how people adapt to living at risk; and witness the resiliency of disaster
survivors. The exhibition shows that while storms, volcanoes, and other
forces of nature are formidable, they are completely natural phenomena.
Whether they're disasters or not depends on the choices we make. Nature
Unleashed examines how we can prepare for, and potentially minimize, the
impact of nature’s fury.
