Short summary
Here we present a science museum, which is special in that it is built around an event in geological time representing a turning point in the planet's history and which brings together the Earth system components. The museum is part of a research complex in the Yucatan Science and Technology Park in Mexico. The museum exhibits on the Chicxulub impact, mass extinction and Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary provide an engaging context for effective geoscience communication, outreach and education.
