Eyes on Science: Illustrating Natural History
July 3, 1996 – January 1, 1997
Drawings, related specimens, and interpretive text explore 150 years of scientific illustration at the Smithsonian, demonstrate the importance of visual records to scientific research, and challenge visitors to look more closely at the natural world. Drawing Room (for ages 10 and up) offers activities where visitors can test their observation skills, observe professional illustrators at work, and experiment with illustrator's tools.
