High Desert Museum 59800 S Hwy. 97 541-382-4754 • highdesertmuseum.org The Museum started welcoming visitors into its indoor exhibits again on February 12. Timed tickets are highly encouraged, as capacity is limited. Tickets may be reserved at highdesertmuseum.org/tickets. Discover the hidden art of igneous rocks from Oregon and other planets in our solar system in a new exhibit, Cosmic Microscapes: Seeing Into Rocks from Oregon & Space, opening Saturday, March 6. This unique exhibition presents fine art imagery of igneous rocks from four sites in the Northwest and elsewhere in our solar system, along with scientific captions detailing their origins, mineral composition and structure. These are the largest photographic prints ever made from petrographic thin sections. Some of the actual rocks, including lunar and Martian samples, will also be on display. Cosmic Microscapes is a project that marries art and science to reveal the dazzling abstract beauty of meteorites. Small pieces of the Moon, Mars and asteroids were sliced paper-thin and photographed at staggeringly high resolution to produce prints of unprecedented scale. This ongoing project is a collaboration between Seattle photographer Neil H. Buckland and University of Washington professor and meteorite scientist Dr. Tony Irving. The exhibit Dam It! Beavers and Us, continues thru October 3. In the Pleistocene era, a mammal that was up to eight feet long and 220 pounds, roamed what is now the High Desert and beyond. Dam It! Beavers and Us explores this important member of the order Rodentia and the interrelationship of people, beavers and the landscape. And if you still prefer it, you can tour our exhibits from the comfort of your home. highdesertmuseum.org/exhibitions.
