Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a museum in which people could walk trough all geological periods of Earth history? Like maybe every room is one period filled with models (life sized?) of animals and plants that lived in that period. They start from pre-cambrian, then cambrian, oh I just walked into Ordovician, Silurian, Devon, Carboniferous, Permian (with it's extinction), Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleogene, Neogene - early humans and us.
It would be not just super fun but also give people an idea of how prehuman history unraveled, because it seems most of the people have all the periods just mashed together in their heads.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
