Museums are places of memory. In the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, every specimen in the hundred-year-old collection holds a history: of its own life, the people associated with it, and its evolutionary record stretching back through eons.

These memories are kept alive by the community around the museum: its researchers, faculty, staff, students, and volunteers. This community’s commitment to biodiversity takes many forms, often in creative expression. Science and art were never mutually exclusive.

Showcasing these works celebrates the Beaty Biodiversity Museum’s first ten public years, and is a reminder that the museum is a place of recollection, of creativity, and of dreams.

Visit the museum to see the original artworks and experience the exhibition.
