Nature Research Center: Work in Progress

We had the chance to visit the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences' new wing, the Nature Research Center, while it was being built. Those hard hat tours were a great way to see how the museum was coming together.

Here are some of the photos of the museum as it progressed. For the finished product, check out the 24-hour grand opening on Friday. If you can't wait until then, get a sneak peek at the museum through our interactive.

Check out our pics from the past month of the museum.
