Race to the End of the Earth recounts one of the most stirring tales in the annals of Antarctic exploration: The contest to reach the South Pole. This exhibition focuses on the challenges that the two leaders – Roald Amundsen on the Norwegian side and Captain Robert Falcon Scott on the British – faced as they undertook their separate 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the South Pole and back..  Photographs, paintings, and rare historical artifacts from these expeditions place visitors in the midst of Antarctic exploration and research at the dawn of the last century.

From fifth grade reporter Chance:

 This past Saturday, New York Cares and several kids from PS 208 went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to do a scavenger hunt.  We saw a real Egyptian Temple from long ago.  We saw a realistic shark that was modern art.  It was so amazing with some cool exhibits!
