As the accompanying photo shows, here we have a Pittsburgh museum that recognizes the value of imparting knowledge through dioramas. They have entitled an exhibit "Create Your Own Habitat Diorama!"
Here however, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has gone a step further to allow visitors to create their own diorama. The museum provides examples, instructions, and the materials to build a diorama. As the photograph shows, the museum provides six different types of model fauna for guests to utilize. Wall graphics explain five steps to build the diorama.
If you have a bit of extra time, read "A Deeper Look at Dioramas" by Suzanne McLaren which is posted at the museum's web site.
