They do have a really neat interactive photo part of the exhibition where you can take a picture of yourself and the computer morphs your image into what you may have looked like if you were a Neanderthal, or other early humanoid. You can print it out and take it home, though you do have to pay for the printing.
I am interested in evolutionary sciences, yet I never went to an exhibit about human evolution. I hope Lucy gives autographs (pun intended).
I have seen fundies at the Natural History museum. We were going through the older Neanderthal exhibit and another family was telling their kids, "This is all lies. God made everything." My husband made us follow them around for a bit, discretely, just to see if we could overhear any more gems such as this. But overwhelmingly, the people who visit are interested, engaged, and open to learning more about evolution.
All of the life science exhibits showcase evolution. Even the butterfly pavilion, which emphasises how butterflies evolved in tandem with plants from their regions.
