Changing
Exhibits Gallery
The Museum
fosters a visual arts program in various forms. With the
completion of the Changing Exhibits Gallery in 1982, the Museum
embarked on a formalized program of temporary exhibitions each
year. The visual arts allow the expressive statements of a
human’s relationship to the natural environment. A unique
interrelationship exists between natural history and the arts.
The Museum strives to explore this connection through a changing
exhibit program that supports and complements the central
natural history theme of the Museum.
