The museum's resident painted turtle, Sheldon, is the center of attention in this week's episode of "Museum Minute"! Sheldon, who has become a star by appearing in many educational programs over the years, can be found by visitors to the museum inside the Suzanne M. Lacy Education Center.

ABOUT MUSEUM MINUTE
The Virginia Museum of Natural History has a spectacular assortment of displays within its exhibit galleries! Some displays are unforgettable, while others don't always get the attention they deserve. Through the original series "Museum Minute", museum educators highlight various displays throughout the exhibit galleries, while providing intriguing facts you may not have known.

"Museum Minute" is made possible thanks to VMNH Corporate Partners Carter Bank & Trust (www.cbtcares.com) and Boxley Materials Company (www.boxley.com)!
