The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History proudly announced new renovations underway as part of their Phase 1 Centennial Project at the Groundbreaking Ceremony on Sept. 8. Guests at the ceremony celebrated the exciting renovations, which include improvements to the museum’s Backyard and Nature Clubhouse, as well as enhancements to their Cartwright, Mammal, and Bird Hall exhibits with the goal of improving visitors’ experience. Although the museum is undergoing restorations, it will continue to remain open to the public.
