Wings of History with the Marion Natural History Museum community group. On November 29, from 10:30 to 11:30 am, please join us in crafting a distinctive butterfly mobile for the museum. We will be drawing inspiration from the detailed illustrations of Maria Sibylla Merian. In this workshop, participants will combine historical accuracy with modern design to produce a captivating display that will hang above our antique butterfly case. Together, we’ll recreate life-sized butterflies, capturing the essence of their natural movement. Be part of this collaborative effort where art, history, and science converge. No prior art experience required. To RSVP, please go to the museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org/login.
On Wednesday, November 29 from 3:30 to 4:30 the Marion Natural History Museum afterschool group will design their own perfect watershed. Let’s build mountains, lakes, rivers, houses and farms in our stream table and explore what happens when you add water. Participants will get a little messy, so please dress accordingly. To register, please go to the museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org.
