Things are getting wild at the Museum of Vancouver, and it’s thanks in part to a New Westminster resident.
Elena Klein is an associate curator with Nature Vancouver, which partnered on the Wild Things: The Power of Nature in Our Lives exhibition with the museum.
Wild Things allows visitors to explore local animals and plants, and their relationship with nature. It involves scenic design, taxidermy, videos, crowdsourcing technologies, and the display of natural specimens, according to a press release from the museum.
“This exhibition attunes your sense to the everyday wonders that surround us. We are hoping through Wild Things to share how a deeper engagement and kinder, more caring relationship with nature will cultivate happier and healthier people, cities, and natural environments,” co-curator Lee Beavington stated in the release.
Wild Things runs until September 2019 at the Museum of Vancouver, 1100 Chestnut St., Vancouver.
