Exhibits

No food or drink is allowed into the exhibit halls and access ends at 9:30pm.

Exquisite Creatures Revealed | Experience how awe-inspiring the natural world can be through the intricate design of its inhabitants. Oregon artist Christopher Marley reveals the connection between art, science, and nature by creating stunning three-dimensional displays of rare specimens from all over the world. Exhibit begins with a 5 minute introductory video.
All subjects have been reclaimed or sourced in an environmentally sensitive manner.

 

Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest | This exhibit focuses on the biodiversity and global importance of our northern-most forests through first-person stories, commissioned objects, interactive experiences and exquisite photography and videography. The boreal forest stores more carbon than most tropical forests and plays a significant role in stabilizing our climate. It is also home to hundreds of Sovereign Indigenous Nations and communities.
