The Museum of the Earth is a natural history museum located in Ithaca, New York. The museum was created in 2003 as part of the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI), which studies the history of the Earth and its life. Both PRI and the Museum of the Earth are formally affiliated with Cornell University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.museumoftheearth.org/about.php )〕 The Museum of the Earth is home to earth-science exhibits and science-related art displays with a focus on the concurrent evolution of the Earth and life. ==History== In the spring of 1994, the PRI Board of Directors approved the proceedings for the initial planning of building a museum to operate in accordance with PRI. With state financial support of $2 million, PRI began the design process for the Museum of the Earth in January 1999. The museum opened to the public in 2003. The museum project took almost ten years to complete and cost more than $11 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.museumoftheearth.org/about.php?page=who_we_are/PRI_history )〕 The Museum occupies an 18,000-square-foot (1,700m²) addition to the PRI complex on Ithaca's West Hill. The building was designed by New York architectural firm Weiss/Manfredi. The design for the museum won the American Institute of Architects's regional awards or "Excellence in Design" and "Honor Award for Architecture" in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.weissmanfredi.com/awards/ )〕
