MABA Pop-up Exhibition at MIT Museum

Special Event: Thursday, May 8

6:00-9:00 pm

Explore the beauty and wonder of birds through the eyes of artists!  View some of the incredible works of art from the collection of the Museum of American Bird Art (MABA) at the MIT Museum in Cambridge. From John James Audubon to Charley Harper to David Sibley, artists have been inspired by avian creatures since the earliest visual art was painted.  See some of the incredible works of art from Mass Audubon’ s collection on display, identify your spirit bird, and mingle with other avian-minded museum goers.
