"Curiouser 2011" At Museum Of Natural History And Cormack Planetarium, Roger Williams Park

The Museum Of Natural History And Cormack Planetarium, Roger Williams Park, opens a new exhibit titled "Curioser 2011" on Nov. 12.

From the Museum website:

For the second year running, Providence’s Museum of Natural History has invited a group of contemporary artists to create new works drawing from over 250,000 rarely-seen items held in its Victorian collections. Last year’s show offered a unique lens on the Victorian obsession with natural studies, concerning itself with the era’s drive to collect and categorize all of nature’s bounty and with notions of nature as inexhaustible.

Curiouser is made possible in part by the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. Click here for more information.
