Interested in getting on the 2021 schedule?
Get on the RTEX schedule today to experience The Butterfly Series. These ultra-high resolution scans provide a multidimensional viewing experience more commonly associated with scientific research. Scales, fur, structures, and patterns of life and disintegration become visible as science and art entwined.
The Curriculum and Activities Guide provides suggestions for engaging with the exhibition. Each suggestion follows an object-based inquiry model, which promotes active looking, critical thinking, and discussion of multiple perspectives. Engagement ideas range from 30 minutes to multiple class sessions. Pressed for time? We include a menu of quick and easy activities that can be adapted for all abilities.
