“Becoming Jane”
Through September 7, 2020
National Geographic Museum
Jane Goodall began observing chimpanzees in 1960 at Gombe Stream Game Reserve in what is now Tanzania, but her first study of animal behavior took place some 20 years earlier, when she, at 5 years old, spent several hours in a hen house, waiting to see how a hen laid an egg.
That curiosity helped drive Goodall to become one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century. Her evolution from an innocent child to a “global icon (偶像)” is documented in “Becoming Jane”, an exhibit in Washington, D.C. through September 7. After that, it heads to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
“Becoming Jane” is technology-heavy. Interactive digital displays, 3-D experiences and a hologram (全息图)-like appearance by Goodall herself will draw the attention of both adults and youngsters. For those who have followed Goodall's career closely, the real treat is seeing her birthday gifts and books from her childhood, field notes, Ph.D. papers and other personal belongings and photos.
Visitors will follow the path of her childhood dream gradually coming true, then the course of her field study about chimpanzees in African wild forests, with remarkable achievements, and finally her recent life as an Animal Rights activist.
