Summary
"Wolves and Humans: Coexistence, Competition and Conflict" was an exhibition exploring the biological, social and mythological connections between humans and wolves. Many interactive exhibits on wolf behavior were featured. The exhibition's 30-foot diameter visual centerpiece was a re-creation of a northern woods environment showing a wolf pack engaged in a winter kill. Other features of the exhibition included comparisons of wolves and humans as hunters, prehistoric wolf masks, costumes and totems from native American cultures and graphic representations of the wolf throughout history. The exhibit was produced by the Science Museum of Minnesota, and major support was made possible by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The exhibit was on view in Gallery 3 of the American Museum of Natural History from June 11 through September 1, 1986.
