S.B. Museum of Natural History

The John and Peggy Maximus Art Gallery at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History will open its curious summer art exhibit, Strange Science.

The exhibit features a rare combination of original 18th-century engravings and taxidermy specimens. The gallery walls will be lined with colorful illustrations of animals and plants based on Albertus Seba’s famous cabinet of curiosities. A display just outside the gallery will highlight taxidermy as an important tool for preserving specimens in 19th-century museum collections.

The exhibit is included with Museum admission and will be open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM through September 3. For more information, visit sbnature.org.
