This month, learn how photographers and scientists document biodiversity and use art to help people connect with nature. 

• Visit the photography exhibit, Frogs! Through an Ecology Lens, to learn about the diversity of frogs in India.

• Attend the lecture, India: An Amphibian Hotspot, presented by scientist and photographer S. D. Biju, from 6–7 p.m.  

• Visit In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers, an art and science exhibition inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s plant collections from Concord, MA.

• Create a cyanotype—a camera-less photographic print—using local plant material guided by photographer Leah Sobsey, whose work is featured in the Thoreau exhibit. 

• Take some snaps in our photo booth with fun nature-themed props and backgrounds.

• Purchase drinks at the cash bar (valid government ID required to consume alcoholic beverages).

• Enter a free raffle to win museum gifts and membership. 

Free and open to the public. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Let the museum know you are coming! RSVPs are encouraged, but walk-in visitors are always welcome.
