Exhibit Codex
Explore the records behind all five collections, then open any exhibit in three dimensions.
Universe
- The Solar System
Explore the Sun, eight planets and named small bodies. Change the time scale, inspect a world, or travel outward to the connected galaxy view.
- Earth
Explore Earth’s history, reconstructed continents, modern geography, and the layers beneath the surface.
- TRAPPIST-1 System
Explore this world, its place in the system and its changing context through time.
- The Sun
The star at the center of our planetary system. Its gravity binds the planets; fusion in its core supplies sunlight.
- Mercury
A heavily cratered rocky world with an extremely thin exosphere.
- Venus
A dense carbon-dioxide atmosphere and thick clouds surround our nearest planetary neighbor in size.
- The Moon
Earth’s natural satellite preserves an ancient record of impacts and volcanic activity.
- Mars
A cold desert world with giant volcanoes, polar ice, and evidence of ancient flowing water.
- Jupiter
The largest planet in our Solar System, with a deep hydrogen-rich atmosphere and powerful storms.
- Saturn
A low-density gas giant encircled by extensive rings made primarily of water ice.
- Uranus
An ice giant with an extreme axial tilt. Methane contributes to its blue-green appearance.
- Neptune
The outermost major planet, with a deep blue atmosphere and strong winds.
- The Universe
Explore cosmic history, then travel into the Milky Way and the two planetary systems in this museum.
- TRAPPIST-1
A small, cool star about 40.5 light-years away in Aquarius. Seven known terrestrial-sized planets form a remarkably compact planetary system. The system age is uncertain; 7.6 billion years is an approximate published estimate.
- TRAPPIST-1 b
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 c
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 d
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 e
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 f
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 g
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
- TRAPPIST-1 h
One of seven measured planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. Its size and orbit are measured through observations; the displayed surface is an artistic interpretation.
Biology
- Domestic Dog
Explore the dog’s outer form, skeletal reference and 263 individually named muscle and soft-tissue meshes from the published dm_control canine model. Switch references to inspect each source clearly.
- Tyrannosaurus rex
Examine the deep skull, powerful hindlimbs and counterbalancing tail of a Tyrannosaurus mount. Thirteen named inspection regions reveal the skull, jaw, axial skeleton and hindlimbs. Switch between the mount scan and an interpretive life reconstruction.
- Triceratops
Meet Hatcher, the Smithsonian’s Triceratops mount. Explore the skull and frill, trunk, limbs and tail as a detailed museum specimen. Switch between the mount scan and an interpretive life reconstruction.
- The Human Cell
Enter the architecture of a cell. Follow folded membranes, trace the protein pathway and separate fifteen cellular systems into a gallery of microscopic structures.
- The Human Body
Explore the supporting skeleton, reveal anatomical systems and optionally show the body surface. Explore BodyParts3D bones, muscles and internal structures, alongside clearly labeled reconstructed lung lobes.
- Domestic Cat
Explore the cat’s exterior, a skeletal study and a sourced abdominal model. Inspect the liver, pancreas, intestinal tract, kidneys, bladder and abdominal vessels in Pixelbeaker’s reference.
Architecture
- The Parthenon
Explore the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. Inspect the surviving colonnades, stepped platform and inner remains in a textured photogrammetric study.
Technology
- Inline-four Engine
Run an inline-four engine slowly, scrub the crank angle and follow intake, compression, power and exhaust. Inspect the synchronized pistons, rods, crankshaft, valves and supporting assemblies.
Mythology
- Apollo
Explore an original lifelike Apollo with an enlarged lyre. Inspect the instrument frame and strings, the draped figure and the wreath study region.
- Artemis
Read an original Artemis through the bow, quiver and arrows displayed beside her figure. Inspect her clothing and equipment, and separate modern sculpture from ancient iconographic evidence.
- Odin
Inspect an original cloaked Odin alongside a spear and paired raven emblems. Explore the figure and attributes as an interpretation of Norse literary tradition.
- Freyja
Explore an original Freyja, with necklace and feather emblems presented as separate object studies. Clothing, braids and ornament are modern artistic choices.
- Athena
Read a goddess through her attributes. Explore the crested helmet, aegis, draped garment, spear, shield and owl in an original lifelike interpretation of Athena.
- Thor
Explore a lifelike interpretation of Thor alongside Mjölnir. Inspect the belt, clothing and symbolic equipment, and distinguish medieval literary attributes from our modern sculptural choices.
- The Trident of Poseidon
Examine the three-pronged emblem associated with Poseidon. Separate the tines, socket, shaft and ornamental details to see how a familiar fishing implement becomes a divine attribute.
- Mjölnir
Inspect an original short-handled hammer and a small pendant interpretation. Compare the object of Norse storytelling with the hammer-shaped symbols people wore; the two are presented at different display scales.
