    Opened in June 2023, the exhibit Cellphone: Unseen Connections at the National Museum of Natural History is about our most intimate devices: what’s in them, how we use them, how they influence our lives, and what happens when we’re done with them. It’s a never-before-told story with deep ties to people’s lives and our connections with the natural world, and features over 750 collections objects, 35 personal stories, and interactive media content.
