ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science (www.dmns.org/main/en/) has/had an
elaborate & effective cratering exhibit as part of their Mars exhibit. The
exhibits staff there invested several years of prototyping & testing. Someone
there may still recall earlier versions & lessons learned.
