From Dinosaurs to Drill Bits:

The San Juan Basin Oil & Gas Experience

Museum staff is in the final stages of planning for Phase 1 of From Dinosaurs to Drill Bits.  This exhibit will focus on the latest science and technology used in the oil and gas industry and explore the impact of the oil and gas booms on Farmington and the Four Corners region. 

Phase 1 of the exhibit will include a 1500 square foot exhibit space featuring interactive computer-based exhibits and a Geovator, which simulates a ride down an oil well.  The museum is working with the Houston Museum of Natural Science to construct the Geovator.  Phase 2 should be completed within 5 years.
