Walk with a Naturalist

Join Shelby Hendricks, group tour and family programs manager, for an observation-based exploration of works currently on view through the lenses of art and science.

These cross-disciplinary tours invite visitors to engage with artworks in unexpected ways, bringing a more-than-human dimension to scientific ideas while deepening our emotional connection to the environment.

Join us for an observation-based exploration of a small ocean swallowed.

Through close looking and guided discussion, participants will consider how the artists envision water as a model of interconnectivity and reimagine the entwined relationship between humans and the bodies of water that surround us.

Advance registration is strongly recommended.
Walk-ins are welcome as space permits.
Each tour is limited to 20 participants.
Comfortable footwear is encouraged.
