Finnin\"\/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> is a place of stunning contrasts: mysterious caves and bright avenues, sweltering fields and cool forests, hard challenges and high energy. The main feature of the exhibition is a &#8220;plaza&#8221; evoking city life and lined with displays. Tabletops along the streetscape encourage guests to try activities related to Cuban dominoes, Cuban foods and coffee, local music and the nation&#8217;s obsession with baseball. A 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air on display reveals the story behind the vintage cars that famously rumble down Cuban streets. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> is also one of the region&#8217;s most ecologically diverse countries, with the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean&#8217;s<\/span> healthiest coral reefs, most significant wetlands and largest rainforest. The exhibition features beautiful re-creations of the island&#8217;s habitats, with lifelike models representing its distinctive wildlife, both modern and extinct, and live lizards called anoles. About 50 percent of <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba&#8217;s<\/span> plants and 32 percent of its vertebrate animals are endemic, found only on the island. Highlights include the Zapata wetlands, home to the endangered Cuban crocodile, and a reconstructed cave environment. <\/p>\n<p>The Museum worked with the Cuban community in <span class=\"xn-location\">Denver<\/span> to enhance the experience, by adding live musical and dance performances at times during the exhibition&#8217;s run, and contributing profiles and personal mementos from local Cuban Americans. <\/p>\n<p>The IMAX film &#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span>&#8221; in 2D opens in Phipps IMAX Theater on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Oct. 26<\/span>, and is the perfect complement to the exhibition.
