Debbie Sommer, Greeley, holds her 2-month-old son, Caleb, while viewing a polar bear exhibit in Kansas University’s Natural History Museum. A recent article in the Los Angeles Times reports that natural history museums could be headed for the vulnerable species list, alongside the polar bear and the redwood tree. Leonard Krishtalka, who directs KU’s museum, and who is quoted in the article, says the museums need to help solve problems that the planet is facing. “Our time is now, and museums that reach out and grab that mission strongly will be the ones who survive,” Krishtalka said.
