Garden of Eden exhibit at the Museum of Creation and Earth History

The Museum of Creation and Earth History is a young earth creationist museum founded by the Institute for Creation Research at its original headquarters in Santee, California in 1970. After the Institute for Creation Research moved from Santee to Dallas, Texas in 2008, the institute sold the museum to the Life and Light Foundation, a non-profit ministry run by Tom Cantor. The Life and Light Foundation now has future plans for expansion.^[1]

The museum is open to the public from Monday through Saturday with free admission.^[2] It features exhibits such as an interpreted walk through the Garden of Eden with a literal depiction of the six days in the Genesis, a dark room with pictures of the planets and stars, scale models of Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel, an Ice Age room, the Canyon Wall, describing how the Grand Canyon was formed in a matter of weeks or months, rather than the millions of years posited by mainstream geologists, the Hall of Scholars with pictures and biographies contrasting scientists who believed in creationism and rather than accepting evolution. It also has a room showing the ICR's RATE project, an effort, in conjunction with other young Earth creationist organizations, to find evidence of a young earth.
