Sep 19 Friday
Our latest exhibit features science illustrations from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, when scientific study was becoming more encouraged than ever before. Come and see engraved images of scientific techniques used to harness and use natural phenomena. Hand-colored representations of flowers and insects bring these wonders of nature to life. Some of the illustrations are lifelike, some imaginative, and some endearingly whimsical, depicting the fun side of science. From an earth science book imagining life on the moon to the loveliness of nature, there is something fascinating about every aspect of this special collection.
