Lynx exhibits, neither gallery nor museum

El Paso Times (Diana Washington Valdez)

The Lynx Exhibits center made a splashy debut a year ago in El Paso with its bold "Bodies Human: Anatomy in Motion" exhibit.

It followed with a short presentation of the "Shroud of Turin" for the Easter season, and continued with the current "Tut's Treasure" exhibit.

The King Tutankhamen exhibit features an exciting 25-seat simulated ride that appeals to people's "Indiana Jones" spirit of adventure.

"Lynx was created to be a family entertainment center," said Mike Churchman, a successful businessman who decided to invest in improving the quality of life in Downtown El Paso by sinking a quarter of a million dollars (so far) into the gallery. "Although these exhibits have an educational aspect to them, they are also intended to provide a fun experience."
