New Exhibit
What happens when a contemporary muralist follows in the footsteps of a 19th century naturalist? Italian artist Hitnes did just that, following the journey noted ornithologist John James Audubon took across the continent 200 years ago. The result from Hitnes is a collection of rich, vibrant artwork — shadow boxes, etchings and sketchbooks capturing the essence of wildlife.
The new exhibit The Image Hunter: On the Trail of John James Audubon opens at the Museum on Saturday, October 17.
