Albuquerque, NM on the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science Memorial Wall.
Very informative, especially about the development of the teenage brain.
This exhibit provides insight into the drug problem we have as a global society. Thank you for bringing it to the light.
This display needs to be multiplied for every state, town, school, or educational system so every child has mandatory access to view this exhibit.
The Drugs exhibition was deeply meaningful for the residents of New Mexico. It seems that almost everyone has a friend or family member whose lives have been impacted by drug abuse. The associated lectures and community events were very well attended and school group visits resulted in many good discussions. We have continued these partnerships and made many friends.

I was so proud to see our players show up and help (set up the exhibit). I heard them talking about the exhibit......they were affected, they were saddened by it and hopefully, they will stay away from the destruction that illicit drugs can cause. I hope also that they will speak up against drugs when a friend or family member is tempted by drugs.

We are so grateful this exhibit was presented in a mid-size city such as Mobile, Alabama, as educational intervention is the only way we can attack the drug epidemic. The educational benefits of this exhibit will have a phenomenal impact on all who see it.
Incredible…everyone should see this....everyone.
Drugs affect your brain.
I snorted coke once, I saw how bad it was. But seeing what it did to my brain really scares me. Thank you for teaching me how bad it is.
R.I.P. Don’t do drugs. Drugs kiled my uncle.
Very somber, heavy but educating experience. A must see.
Loved this exhibit. It really hit home. I have seen what drugs does to someone.
Wonderful, informative, eye opening experience. Thank you.
Good to have at a children’s museum!
The exhibit is not a “one and done” exhibit. The community relations impact between civic, health, and educational organizations along with collaborations with government, the courts, law enforcement, schools, media, and elected officials was extraordinary. We were proud to be the catalyst, working with DEA, to improve the lives of so many in our region. Reaching students and families with this comprehensive, content-rich exhibit created synergy with our donor community, as well.
