Discovering Chimpanzees at the Canadian Museum of Nature

The exhibit, which opened at the end of January, is inspired by the work of legendary observational biologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, who has spent more than 40 years observing chimpanzees and spearheading conservation efforts worldwide.

Visitors to the exhibit can learn what it’s like to be a chimpanzee by digging for imaginary termites, climbing into a chimpanzee nest and taking pictures with life-sized cut-outs of various primates.

They can also visit a replica of Goodall’s tent in Gombe National Park and read about what they can do to stop chimpanzees and other primates from going extinct.
