A laboratory showing health as man's successful
adaptation to the environment Instead of health in terms
of disease and medicine is part of a proposed $500,000
expansion of the NU State Museum. The project will
enable the museum to remodel and expand its health
science gallery, according to a museum official.
James Gunnerson, museum director said the eight parts
of the new gallery '"will give not only a better understand
ing of our own tody, but other animals' bodies. What
better example to study," he said, "then an animal (our
selves) that we are best aquainted with."
The present health galleries were made possible by an
endowment nearly 20 years ago, Gunnerson said, but they
are out-dated. :
New health galleries for the museum have been dis
cussed for several years, he said, but funding was not avail
able. Gunnerson said the Auxilary of the Nebraska
Medical Association" volunteered to lead the fund drive.
Museum funding
Ian Newman, associate professor at the Nebraska
Center for Health Education, was appointed chairman of
the coordinating committee for funding and planning of
the galleries by former UNL Chancellor James Zumberge
in 1975, he said. .
Gunnerson said over $200,000 has been donated or
pledged, but the museum "is not going to wait until all
the money comes before we start working."
"Hopefully next year the first part will be open," he
said. : , ; ' " .
Approximately 3,000 square feet on the first floor of
Morrill Hall and an adjoining classroom of 700 square
feet will house the new galleries, Gunnerson said.
Eht phases "
Casual visitors and organized groups will walk through
the eight-part display, beginning with a comparison of the
human body to other animals. .

The next area, he said, will be Ceres Theater. Ceres, the
Goddess of Agriculture, is a full-size transparent model of
a three-months-pregnant woman who describes her body
functions with lights and recordings. '
The next room displays systems of the body: skeletal,
visitors will be exposed to strong stimuli: sound, light and
texture. "Not everyone will like it," he said, "but
everyone will respond." " .
Environmental captation
The fourth area describes parts of the environment the
body has to adapt to: weather, food and genetics.
The next room displays systems of the body: skelectal,
circulation, digestive and respiration..
The five senses, reproduction and survival, are the last
three areas displayed, Gunnerson said. The survival exhibit
can be changed rapidly in response to current public con
cerns such as pollution and epidemic threats, he said.
Gunnerson said the galleries will show two ways man
can adapt: biological, a slow process, or culturally, a faster
process.
Visitor participation, utilizing electronic and self
testing devices, will teach two things, he said. "It will
teach us how to design exhibits if the message is not
getting through and we can learn how people learn."
In addition to emphasizing health as man's adaption,
he said, the health galleries will show how understanding
the functions of the body will lead to better maintenance
of health and that knowledge-of human physical systems
is applicable to other animal systems.
