What goes into creating an exhibition that complements Small Living Things: The Magical Art of Eric Carle? The journey begins with exploring the Michener’s permanent collection—but what happens next? How are artworks selected, and what stories do they tell?
Join Assistant Curator Abi Lua for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the curatorial process behind Creatures from the Collection. Discover how this companion exhibit came to life and gain insight into the thoughtful decisions that shape what we see on the gallery walls.
