SUMMARY:Genghis Khan: The Great Civilizer
DESCRIPTION:Genghis Khan Invades Downtown Mobile!\nDiscover the man behind the legend in the blockbuster exhibition experienced by over a million people around the world.\n \n \nMOBILE\, AL.– In the tradition of years past\, the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center is proud to announce a return to major blockbuster exhibitions in the Spring of 2019. On the scale of its China and Pompeii exhibits\, the Exploreum invites visitors to take a journey back in time with one of history’s most prolific and controversial figures – Genghis Khan. Through artifacts\, performers\, artwork\, and other historically significant items\, discover the eye-opening story of the world’s most well-known conqueror\, civilizer and innovator in the exhibition Genghis Khan: The Great Civilizer – opening at the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center on Saturday\, January 26\, 2019. \nTo book someone to come speak to your group about this incredible new exhibit\, please click here. \n\nAlso supported by BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama\, Spire\, Jesco Inc.\, Mobile County Marketing Fund\, and Alabama Power.\n \nCurated and developed by dinosaur expert Don Lessem\, the exhibition features more than 300 spectacular objects on display\, including rare and sophisticated weapons\, costumes\, jewels\, ornaments\, instruments and numerous other fascinating relics and elaborate artifacts from 13th-century Mongolia. “I went to Mongolia to look for fossils and discovered the truth about Genghis Khan\, a civilizing genius\,” said Lessem. “It’s a great story best told in a major exhibition.” \nExperience life in 13th-century Mongolia\, entering the tents\, battlegrounds and marketplaces of a vanished world that was once the largest land empire in history. Explore Genghis Khan’s life and those of his sons and grandsons during the formation\, peak and decline of the Mongol Empire. \n \nAs the exhibit strikingly portrays\, Genghis’s reputation as the greatest conqueror is well-deserved – he dominated three times more land in his lifetime than either Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great\, a conquest attested to by the formidable array of swords\, bows\, arrows\, saddles and armor included on display in Genghis Khan. In fact\, the historic exhibition showcases hundreds of artifacts from Genghis’s 13th century Empire\, the largest such collection ever to tour. \nHowever\, this special exhibition presents a more complete image of the legendary leader whom Time Magazine and CNN named “The Man of the Millennium.” As visitors discover\, Genghis not only created the nation of Mongolia and its written language\, but his lineage established the modern borders of nations from India to Iran\, Korea to China and opened the trade routes that united East and West\, forever after. \n \nVisitors will experience the exhibition through the eyes of a Mongolian resident\, receiving a civilian identity card at the beginning of their journey. From warrior to spy to princess\, they will follow this character’s life throughout the rise of the great Mongol Empire across six key scenes: \n\nThe Grasslands: Discover the daily life of a nomad on the high plateaus of Central Asia and learn about the outcast Genghis Khan’s earliest struggles. Walk into an ancient Mongol ger (yurt) home. Stand in the midst of a herd of stampeding horses.\n\n\nRise of the Mongols: Learn how the young\, charismatic Genghis Khan united warring tribes in order to form an unrivaled cavalry. Explore the equestrian culture and innovations in weaponry Genghis Khan mastered to conquer four times more land than any Empire in history.\n\n\nThe Walled City: Enter the recreation of Karakorum\, the walled city\, which became the capital of the Mongolian Empire after Genghis Khan’s son inherited the kingdom. See how life changed for Mongols once they had vanquished all of their enemies\, and arts and diverse religions and cultures flourished as the need for war subsided.\n\n\nThe Silk Road: While Genghis Khan was a ruthless warrior\, he was also a savvy statesman and benevolent ruler. He developed a written language and a sophisticated society with fair taxation\, stable government\, appreciation of the arts\, religious freedom and open trade along the Silk Road. Explore this vital trade route which enabled the exchange of both goods and ideas between cultures.\n\n\nThe Palace of Kublai Khan – Enter the sumptuous Chinese palace of Xanadu\, the center of the Empire of Genghis’s grandson\, Kublai\, who united China for the first time. See porcelain treasures and a sword with the emblem of a guardian of Marco Polo\, among many others.\n\n\nMongolia Today: Trace the influence of Genghis Khan in images of modern Mongolian life. The distinctive horse-based culture of Genghis Khan’s time persists today as the nation and language he created lives on eight centuries after his rule. See how his legend lives on through the namesake of many modern Mongolian brands\, and how he was revered as a god among the Mongolian people.\n\nGenghis Khan will open to the general public on Saturday\, January 26\, 2019. Additional details to come in the following months. \nInterested in becoming a sponsor for Genghis Khan: The Great Civilizer blockbuster exhibit?

SUMMARY:Super Adoption Day with Dixie Adoptables

This event is in conjunction with our summer IMAX Dome feature film\, Superpower Dogs. We will be giving away various swag from the film and more! Those who finalize the adoption process with Dixie Adoptables will also get a FREE one year family membership to the Exploreum! (We will also be giving out some SUPER awesome swag from the Superpower Dogs film and PEDIGREE Foundation as well!) \nThe event will take place in the Exploreum atrium in an effort to avoid any potential inclement weather and\, of course\, to keep the pups out of the summer heat. Guests can enter the adoption area in the atrium for free but if they decide to visit the exhibits or IMAX they can get in for a discounted $10 combo price for both. Exploreum members can attend the event and exhibits for free (IMAX additional fee). \nDixie Adoptables is a full service no-kill animal shelter for residents of the city of Lucedale. Their goal is to house\, feed\, and provide medical care to any stray\, abandoned\, or surrendered animals until a new suitable home can be found for them. \nAs of October 1\, 2016\, the shelter is a local 501 (c) (3) nonprofit animal rescue located at 234 Beaver Dam Rd. Lucedale\, MS 39452. \nMore about Superpower Dogs: \nJoin an immersive IMAX adventure to experience the life-saving superpowers and extraordinary bravery of some of the world’s most amazing dogs. In this inspiring true story narrated by Chris Evans\, our best friends are also real-life superheroes. Journey around the globe to meet remarkable dogs who save lives and discover the powerful bond they share with their human partners. \nFollow ‘Halo’\, a rookie puppy training to join one of the most elite disaster response teams in America. Meet ‘Henry’\, an avalanche rescue expert in the mountains of British Columbia\, ‘Reef’\, a Newfoundland lifeguard with the Italian coastguard\, ‘Ricochet’\, a Californian surf legend helping people with special needs\, and the Bloodhound brothers\, ‘Tipper and Tony’\, who are leading the fight to save endangered species in Africa. \nAs we discover the incredible abilities of dogs and the astonishing science behind their superpowers\, we’ll never look at our best friends the same way again!
