Easton Collection Center Open House: Plants and Pollinators
Saturday, August 23, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
FREE for everyone.
Explore the intricate relationships between
plants, their pollinators, and the people who have interacted with them
for generations. From fossilized plants to delicate herbarium specimens,
from baskets woven with plant fibers to fine art celebrating the
diverse landscapes of the Colorado Plateau—you’ll encounter a rich
variety of objects from across our natural sciences, ethnography,
archaeology, and fine art collections.
MNA curators and staff will be on hand to share
stories, research, and surprising connections between the natural world
and human creativity. Discover how the natural sciences inform our
understanding of culture, history, and art—and how pollinators help
shape ecosystems and inspire generations of artistic expression.
This event complements the current Shifting Life Zones
exhibition, and offers a deeper dive into the Museum’s
interdisciplinary approach to understanding and celebrating life on the
Colorado Plateau.
Free admission. All ages welcome!
The Easton Collection Center is located on the
opposite side of Fort Valley Road from the Museum. Coming from central
Flagstaff, turn right at the Harold S. Colton Research Center sign. Go
up the short drive to a parking area. The Easton Collection Center is
the tall modern sandstone colored building with a sloping living roof.
