The Joggins Fossil Centre is educational museum and the visitor center for Joggins Cliffs. The exhibit displays an extensive collection of carboniferous fossils in dramatic, textured casework with odd angles and special lighting, and features a large model of a hollowed tree trunk that serves as a 2-3 person theater.
With consultation from paleontologists and astrophysicists MorrowSound's design reconstructs a day in the life of the carboniferous period - condensed into a three minute spatial sound and video experience. Visitors look up at the sky through an ancient forest. As the sun rises, crosses, and sets, we hear ancient flora and fauna punctuated with moments of intense weather.
