Birds of America Exhibit

Discover! The famous prints of the Birds of America series by John James Audubon are coming to Lakewold Gardens. On display will be 30 vintage prints from Toni and Jerry Gibbs’ private Birds of America collection, including the Pileated Woodpecker, the Horned Owl and many of the ducks he painted. Vintage frames from the 1800’s (Audubon’s era) highlight all of the pieces and some are of elephant folio size. From this exhibit you will learn about the life and history of Audubon and how it relates to the development of our country in the early years, from 1785 - 1851. This display documents his accomplishments and his contribution to history through art.

A special presentation by the Gibbs’ on May 1st will kick-off our MayFest activities.

Standard admission fees apply.
