Johnson Geo Centre, Geology museum on Signal Hill, St. John's, Canada
The Johnson Geo Centre contains underground exhibits within excavated glacial formations, displaying the natural bedrock of Signal Hill through glass enclosures.
The Johnson Family Foundation invested 11 million dollars to establish this geological interpretation center in 2002, transforming a peat-filled area into an educational facility.
The center provides educational programs about continental drift, glaciation, earthquakes, and volcanic activity through interactive exhibits and scientific demonstrations.
Visitors can access the museum at 175 Signal Hill Road in St. John's, with variable operating hours from May to December and special rates for families.
The building utilizes six geothermal wells reaching 500 feet deep to power its heating and cooling systems throughout the underground structure.
