It presents a fascinating mix of fossils, film, interactive media, life-size tableaux, ancient artifacts, and more.Milstein Hall of Ocean Life Newly renovated, the hall is now a 29,000 square-foot (2,694 square meters) fully immersive marine environment with high definition video projections, interactive computer stations, and eight new ocean habitat displays.
