Center for PostNatural History, History museum in Garfield neighborhood, Pittsburgh, United States.
The Center for PostNatural History displays organisms modified through selective breeding or genetic engineering in detailed exhibition spaces with multimedia presentations.
Richard Pell, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University, established this specialized museum to document human-influenced biological modifications throughout history.
The museum maintains a neutral scientific approach while presenting specimens like GloFish with fluorescent genes and Biosteel goats producing spider silk proteins.
Visitors can explore the exhibits using wired telephone handsets to learn about various specimens through photography, taxidermy, dioramas, and living displays.
The collection includes specimens of Silkie chickens with unusual fluffy coats and transgenic fruit flies, demonstrating the range of human intervention in nature.
