Happy History | Jstyle

Spring 2025 Fashion Shoot

Our Jstyle models stand in the stunning interior of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History after its $150 million transformation that invites guests to explore the wonders of science and nature. They are greeted by Haplocanthosaurus delfsi fossil, affectionately known as “Happy,” as they arrive to experience the museum’s full transformation. And with its recent updates – remounted in a new exhibit with a new look – this septuagenarian dinosaur illustrates how even a fossil from the past can keep up with modern trends in science, that is.

Transformative Times

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has been a pillar of science, education, research, conservation and community engagement since 1920. Supporting the museum’s goal to address the impacts of humans on our natural world, its design of several phases of renovation and an iconic addition transforms the facility into an actively sustainable building.

The museum is a place for the community to gather, learn and find inspiration. Every Sunday, residents of Cleveland and East Cleveland can visit the museum free of charge during the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Community Days, an opportunity made possible through a generous grant from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation.

In December 2024, the museum celebrated the grand opening of a $150 million transformation that allows visitors to explore the wonders of science and nature – from the origins of the universe to the amazing story of life on Earth.

The transformation features an expanded campus totaling more than 375,000 square feet, more than 2 acres of outdoor visitor areas and completely reimagined exhibits. The building’s new architecture was inspired by the geological history of Northeast Ohio, with flowing white forms paying homage to the glaciers that carved the Great Lakes.

These design choices – architecture in service of science – reflect the museum’s mission and provide visitors with even more opportunites to connect with nature. Reconceptualized exhibits aim to put the visitor at the center of the experience – prioritzing relevance and encouraging all audiences to deepen their connection to science and the natural world. Through engaging case studies, immersive experiences and hands-on interactives, the new exhibits highlight how all living things are connected, emphasizing the interdependence of human health and the health of our planet.
