LEARN HOW DESIGN IS INSPIRED BY NATURE.
5 Birds of a Feather
Calling birders of all ages! Also at the Sam Noble Museum, Flight Lines: The Art of Natural History opens July 15 and features works of art and scientific illustrations meaningful to ornithology, the study of birds. Before the age of photography, scientists and naturalists had to illustrate their discoveries to share them with the world. Today, scientific illustration might not be as necessary, but plenty of artists and researchers choose to keep the tradition alive and capture the essence of nature in works of art. The exhibit features the work of professionals, scientists and OU students and will be open through Nov. 19.
Additional location in Edmond at Covell and I-35! Coming Soon!
