The Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati will host an entomology workshop in partnership with Meddling with Nature, an organization known for their educational theatrics and hands-on DIY workshops whose specialty is creating opportunities for individuals to experience art within the natural sciences. Guests will be encouraged to “touch with their own hands and see with their own eyes”.  Meddlers big and small, armed with their new-found knowledge, will mount and take home their very own large exotic specimen.

This workshop is a precursor to the Lloyd Library’s Summer 2016 exhibition showcasing Maria Sibylla Merian’s Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium. Meddling with Nature will bring this epic work to life by presenting Surinam native plants and insects alongside the Lloyd Library’s original copies.

Learn about entomology and gain new insight into the work of Maria Sibyl Merian. Register for Meddling with Nature’s entomology workshop. The workshop will be held on Friday, February 19 (7-9 PM). Doors open at 6:30 PM.

General adult ticket: $49 advanced purchase
Additional child ticket: $22
