The heart exhibit has been there for 67 years this year and has been patched and completely renovated recently. It had sound effects of a beating heart when you walked through. I remember going with my nieces and nephews when they were little and finally saw the "new" one (had been renovated in 2004 and recently got a touch-up renovation).

They have really kept it updated in there over the years. Funny but the first thing that I remembered was also a giant pendulum and they show that at the end of the above video clip and show it in the below when they have the pins there for it to knock over during a day.
