At the Maximus Gallery
June 7, 2019 / 10:00 AM–5:00 PM
The John and Peggy Maximus Art Gallery's curious summer art exhibit Strange Science will open to the public on June 7. The exhibit features a rare combination of original 18th-century engravings and taxidermy specimens. The gallery walls will be lined with colorful illustrations of animals and plants based on Albertus Seba’s famous cabinet of curiosities. A display just outside the gallery will highlight taxidermy as an important tool for preserving specimens in 19th-century museum collections. The exhibit is included with Museum admission and will be open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM through September 3.
