A new feature exhibit has opened at the Museum of Surrey.
“Soil Superheroes” is an interactive exhibit—now open in the main gallery—that looks at the “hidden world” just below the ground.
“Beneath our feet, a league of superheroes is hard at work making life on Earth possible,” notes an entry about the exhibition on the museum’s webpage. “Discover the hidden world of soil science and conservation in Soil Superheroes, a fun and interactive exhibition on loan from the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, part of Ingenium Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation.”
The Museum of Surrey is inviting “curious minds of all ages” to take a look at what our underground ecosystem looks like.
“(It’s) a place where tiny organisms work every day to grow our food, clean our water, and help protect our climate.”
The exhibit features hands-on activities and displays. Museum-goers can learn about healthy soil and the role it plays in food security and the health of our communities.
“Explore the underground world where soil organisms work every day to grow our food, clean our water, and protect our climate. Meet the exhibition’s mighty heroes, including Captain Clay, The Mole, and Wonder Worm, and discover how their “superpowers” help keep our ecosystems healthy and thriving.”
The exhibit opened May 19 and runs until Sept. 13.
Entrance to the museum is free.
