The Michigan Wildlife Gallery has a large collection of native Great Lakes birds\, mammals\, reptiles\, and amphibians\, with taxidermy mounts\, habitat scenes\, and the largest mastodon trackway on display in the world. There are also displays about some of the environmental problems faced in this region today. The Anthropology Displays feature artifacts from human cultures around the world. The Geology Displays on the fourth floor offer a large selection of rocks\, minerals and gems. These displays are updated periodically.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ida: Darwinius masillae
DESCRIPTION:\"Ida\,\" a new exhibit in the Exhibit Museum's Rotunda\, displays a high-resolution cast of an extremely rare  fossil discovered in 1983 near Messel\, Germany\, but only recently made available for study. The fossil has  proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\"  front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what  human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago.     Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate  paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was  about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human.     Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest  Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various  stations in Germany and Norway.     U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream  team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guided Tour: Art\, Anti-Art\, Non-Art
DESCRIPTION:Art\, Anti-Art\, Non-Art: Experiments in the Public Sphere in Postwar Japan\, 1950-1970\, Open: March 27 through June 6\, 2010\n\nArt\, Anti-Art\, Non-Arthighlights a dynamic phase of avant-garde art in postwar Japan characterized by self-reflection and multimedia experimentation. From 1950 to 1970\, numerous artistic groups emerged\, notably Gutai Art Association\, Group Ongaku\, Fluxus/Tokyo Fluxus\, Neo Dada\, Hi Red Center\, Vivo\, Provoke\, Intermedia\, and Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T).\n\nArtists associated with these innovative groups tested the definition and practice of art by producing objects and ephemera that combined a variety of traditional and new media\, including sound improvisation\, language\, performance\, photography\, video\, and an expanded notion of sculpture. The artists collaborated beyond the boundaries of collectives\, artistic genres\, and conventional exhibition spaces\, often presenting their work in the streets\, temporary theaters and other public spheres. In addition\, the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and the Japan World Exposition in 1970 contributed to the emergence of Japan as a center of international contemporary culture and the arts.\n\nThis exhibition has been organized by the Getty Research Institute\, Los Angeles. The exhibition and related programs are made possible in part by the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies and the Department of the History of Art.
