Exhibit: Wonder - Experiences of Nature, Curiosity, and Play

Nature can inspire awe, curiosity, surprise, and more. Have you ever been amazed by something you saw or heard outside? Has an experience in nature inspired a question that you just had to answer? Wonder explores the relationship between nature, curiosity, and play through experiences that encourage creativity, story-telling, and reflection. From creating scenes of nature to making collections that matter; from getting out to explore the state to settling in to recharge and visit, there’s something for everyone in this hands-on, immersive exhibition.
