"Imagine taking a one-mile walk where every step transports you a million years in time! A Walk Through Time … from stardust to us takes you on just such a journey. In a series of 90 panels of text and illustrations, this innovative traveling exhibit tells the story of life's five-billion-year evolution. ...

Walk Through Time exhibits have been shown around the world—in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas—and the text has been translated into German and Spanish. Businesses, communities, conferences, institutions, museums, universities, and others have displayed or purchased copies of the Walk for both indoor and outdoor exhibits.

The virtual experience has been specially formatted to offer online visitors a compelling interaction with the material contained in the original 90-panel exhibit."
