With eye-catching models, interactive displays and engaging elements, the Genome: Unlocking Life’s Code exhibition is going on tour after having completed a 14-month engagement at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington.

On Sept. 1, 2014, the contemporary, high-impact exhibition—a collaboration between the museum and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health— will start engagements at museums and science centers throughout North America.
