Death by Natural Causes Exhibit


Visit: The Houston Museum of Natural ScienceDeath by Natural Causes, features a wide variety of live animals, real poisonous vegetation and a collection of minerals that the world has never seen (and lived to tell the tale).This special exhibition provides visitors with an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover what drove Van Gogh mad, why tomatoes were deemed inedible 500 years ago and many things that are far more likely to kill you than sharks.  Encounter live deadly animals up close and personal, such as the Mojave rattlesnake, the snake with the most potent rattlesnake venom.  Come face to face with the giant Japanese hornet and its ability to kill more than one honey bee every two seconds.  Learn about the Radium Girls: women who were employed to paint glow-in-the-dark ink on wristwatches, only to die from radiation poisoning due to the radium in the ink.  Resist the temptation to eat the Amanita mushroom, the very plant responsible for approximately 95% of all mushroom-related fatalities. It turns blood acidic. It causes jaundice. It causes widespread cellular death. It isn’t very pleasant, and requires quick, clever and intense medical care to treat effectively. Come see  Death by Natural Causes, and explore so many more of the deadliest aspects of this world we share—you’ll be truly surprised at the danger that lies waiting behind every corner.  This exhibition offers a free audio guide which can be operated via ones cellular phone. The exhibit is open everyday Monday – Sunday 9:00A.M. – 5:00 P.M. and is located on the 3rd floor adjacent to the Hall of Ancient Egypt.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingTravelers should have a moderate physical fitness levelWheelchair accessibleChildren must be accompanied by an adultDress code is smart casualYour tickets will be held at the theater box office for collection on the day of the performanceThis tour/activity will have a maximum of 175 travelersInclusionsAll taxes, fees and handling chargesEntry/Admission – The Houston Mu
