In the Piedmont and Mountains Gallery visitors are “nose-to-nose” with a captivating variety of flying, crawling, swimming and climbing animals. The gallery is anchored by a display of the fall line of the James River in Richmond, filled with smallmouth bass, catfish, wood turtles and other aquatic creatures.
Engaging exhibits such as spotted turtles swimming in an upland bog and yellow perch help visitors piece together the connections between habitat, adaptation and survival.
