Expo Extension - Progress Report

The mezzanine floor over the diorama corridors of the Genesis Expo is ‘up and running’. Well, it is ‘up’ but not ‘running’ yet. An attractive glass balustrade rings a big area, which is empty at present. A shallow staircase leads up from the Expo that you have probably visited. (It was opened ten years ago and over 60,000 visitors have come in since February 2000.) We think to put a glass showcase somewhere in the middle of the new floor, containing a special fossil or two, as well as some digital signage with LED flat screens and several suspended boards announcing the Creator’s work.

Thank you to the many of you who have helped to pay the bill by your gifts; £50K so far.

You will not be surprised to hear that we can’t just open up the Genesis Expo yet. The fossil shop and the book store have to be re-assembled and we would like to make a start on furnishing this splendid mezzanine floor.

It would be prudent to e-mail info@csm.org.uk or phone 02392735610 if you plan to visit Portsmouth from a distance to check whether we have re-opened.
