Bringing the Condors Home Exhibition

"Bringing the Condors Home" is a one of a kind exhibit detailing Ventana Wildlife Society's role in one of the most challenging conservation efforts of all time - the near extinction of the California condor and the ongoing struggle to restore this magnificent species. A collaboration between TerraFocus, the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and the Ventana Wildlife Society, the exhibit has been in circulation since 2003. The exhibit would not have been possible if it were not for the Bay Area grahic design and marketing firm, Aplin Uno Creative.

The exhibit consists of 10 panels (9 informational panels and a life sized wingspan panel stretching from floor to ceiling), and a 360 degree walk in panorama of Big Sur Condor Country, which includes a sound dome. The 10 panels can be displayed on their own or together, making the exhibit flexible enough to fit into both small and large venues. The exhibit also includes an interactive video game for youth.
