## Explore the Arctic and Antarctic.

 

This interactive exhibition in the museum’s Art & Nature Center highlights polar regions as distinct, biologically important systems shaped over time by cyclical changes and, increasingly, by human influences. Experience compelling works of art by 30 contemporary artists and hands-on stations that offer a range of exploratory opportunities for visitors of all ages to connect with ideas presented in the exhibition.
