The name belies the treasures inside this old bottling plant. In 1998, a world-class exhibit of prehistoric mounted mammal skeletons from China dominated this nonprofit exhibit hall. Just when the exhibit will change is hard to say because it will be shipped to another museum when the crew finds one willing to rent the entire show. Plans are in the works for future displays from Argentina. During the off season, the curator will open the museum by special appointment.
