World-renowned conservationist and ethologist Dr. Jane Goodall – who has famously studie d chimpanzees in the wild for more than 60 years – is celebrated in this s pecial exhibition\, produced in partnership with the National Geographic S ociety and the Jane Goodall Institute. Dr. Goodall\, DBE\, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a UN Messenger of Peace\, dedicated her career to studying the lives of chimpanzees. Widely known for her innovative app roach to animal behavior research\, Dr. Goodall traveled to what is now Ta nzania’s Gombe Stream National Park and immersed herself in observing chim panzees in their natural habitat. Rather than seeing the animals as subjec ts\, she came to regard them as individuals with personalities and emotion s – a notion once rejected by the scientific world\, yet now considered re volutionary. A woman ahead of her time\, Dr. Goodall’s story – one of fear less determination\, curiosity\, the pursuit of knowledge and a passionate love of the natural world – has resonated with generations of people arou nd the globe. “Becoming Jane” explores Dr. Goodall’s life\, from her early years as an intrepid young woman with a dream to learn about animals in A frica\, to establishing herself as a renowned scientist in Gombe\, Tanzani a\, to her present role as an activist and mentor for creating a better wo rld for life on Earth. As guests enter the exhibition\, they embark on a j ourney to the jungles of Africa via a multiscreen experience that introduc es Dr. Goodall’s extraordinary work\, alongside surprising encounters with virtually rendered chimpanzees. Nearby\, a life-size replica of Dr. Gooda ll’s research tent provides a hands-on experience where visitors can envis ion themselves as scientists jotting down observations in their field jour nals. In addition to an immersive projection of Tanzania’s Gombe Stream Na tional Park\, the exhibition features a variety of interactive augmented r eality (AR) activities\, including one where visitors can test their skill s at matching the “chimp chat” of a chimpanzee. A makeshift campsite becko ns guests to gather around as they hear from a hologram-like projection of Dr. Goodall who shares her memories of Gombe and recalls her thoughts\, f eelings\, impressions and lessons learned while living among chimpanzees. Guests can also get updates on the current state of Gombe Stream National Park and the chimpanzee range in Africa\, along with the work of the inno vative scientists and conservationists who are following in Dr. Goodall’s footsteps. The exhibitionconcludes with a call to action from Dr. Goodall to join her\, the Jane Goodall Institute and National Geographic in an ef fort to ensure a more sustainable future for all. Visitors to the exhibiti on can join Dr. Goodall in her efforts to conserve the natural world by pl edging to make a positive change in their daily routines and contributing to the Tree of Hope. “Becoming Jane”is supported locally by the Dallas To urism Public Improvement District and\, in part\, by the City of Dallas Of fice of Arts and Culture.
