[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“Here Be Dragons” – No Longer a Warning.
An Invitation from
The Museum of Discovery and Science
In medieval times unexplored areas were labeled on maps with the words “hic sunt dracones” – “Here be dragons”. This was meant to deter people from daring to move past the known to the unknown. Danger lurked there. People needed to stay away.
The very words those mapmakers used as a warning, the Museum of Science and Discovery proudly proclaims to draw people in. “Here Be Dragons” is the latest offering in the Museum’s series of traveling exhibits and is sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital., The exhibit runs from May 22 to September 6 with a Members Only Preview on May 22 from 9 am to 10 am. All members receive a free gift.
