SUMMARY:Capturing the Surreal
DESCRIPTION:Capturing the Surreal highlights the work of three artists inventing bright and new realities. Vibrant\, color-forward\, and an explosion of energy\, each artist’s work is a commentary on society that begins with the question: what is real and what isn’t? Through photography\, artificial reality\, and animation\, the artists evoke dream-like fantasies that intertwine their lived experiences with their interaction between the physical and the virtual world. Immersive and powerful\, their work dives into a space of light and color that threads humorous narratives of the visually and conceptually surreal. Kelli Williams and Charmaine Caire bring puppets\, dolls\, and figurines to life in their photography\, Williams with a certain familiarity with the so-present social media space\, Caire in the absurd scenarios she stages\, both existing in the in-between of reality and fiction. Eva Wu’s potent and saturated use of color and textures extorts intimate otherworldly dimensions reminding us we are somewhere idyllic\, somewhere unfamiliar.

SUMMARY:Dragonflies: Aerial Acrobats
DESCRIPTION:Dragonflies have been around for 300 million years\, with several extinct species having wingspans of over two feet. Inhabiting sites around lakes\, ponds\, streams\, and wetlands\, they are excellent predators\, eating mosquitoes and other small insects. Michael Moore presents a detailed examination of the habitats that support dragonflies\, as well as their lifecycles\, foraging behaviors\, and reproductive strategies. Tour our ponds and see how these aerial acrobats fit into our ecosystems and how you can create a place in your garden for them.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Friday\, July 12\, 2024.\nAbout the Instructor:\nMichael Moore recently retired from being a Biology professor after 38 years. He learned a love of the outdoors from his father who was an avid outdoorsman and fisherman. He started birding in Massachusetts when he was 11 years old. Michael worked at Manomet Bird Observatory in Massachusetts in college and then completed a PhD in Zoology at the University of Washington on White-crowned Sparrow breeding behavior and endocrinology. He has published nearly 100 papers in scientific journals.

SUMMARY:Summer @ the Wagner - Friday Afternoon Guided Tours - Ocean Life
DESCRIPTION:Ready for the weekend? Explore the history and collections of the Wagner with a guided tour!\n\n\nSummer Fridays!\nGuided Tour of the Wagner – Ocean Life\nJoin us on Friday afternoons this summer for guided tours of the Wagner – each week will highlight a different part of the collection!\n \nThe Wagner Free Institute of Science is a National Historic Landmark natural history museum\, with more than 100\,000 specimens on display in its historic Exhibition Hall. \nEvery specimen in the collection has its own story to tell. There are smaller stories of how each specimen arrived at the Wagner and larger stories about evolution\, religion\, and humans’ place in the universe. This guided tour offers a special opportunity to learn more about our specimens\, why the exhibit hall is arranged the way it is\, and how our museum reflects social and intellectual histories of the 19th and 20th centuries. \nEach week\, the tour will begin in the Lecture Hall with a presentation on the founding and history of the Wagner\, followed by a guided tour of the museum that will highlight the architecture of the building and some of the specimens on display. This week will feature Ocean Life\, including our amazing array of coral\, starfish\, sea urchins and other creatures from the depth of the ocean. \nAfter the tour\, you can continue to explore our historic site and museum collections\, including minerals\, fossils\, shells\, insects\, taxidermy birds and mammals. Themed scavenger hunts\, drawing or coloring activities are available to guide you. Stop by our gift shop and pick up a geode to crack open\, polished crystals for your collection\, a vintage tea towel or your own copy of Historic Landmarks of Philadelphia–which features the Wagner! \nThe guided tour runs from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. All ages are welcome but the recommended age is 12 and up. \nTickets are not required to visit the museum but if you’d like to speed up your entry\, sign up HERE. Advance registration for the guided tour reserves your place on the tour. Please register on this page. Sign-up will be available on the day of the tour if space is available. \nGuided tour tickets are $20 for adults\, $15 for members and seniors\, $10 for students.

Today\, the Wagner offers more programs to more people than ever before! Your support helps us provide free education\, not only through the museum\, but through a wide range of courses\, lectures\, field trips\, and children’s science programs. Donations also assist us in caring for the museum and library collections and in preserving our wonderful building\, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. To learn more about what we do please visit our website. \n \nRegistration Information\nIn keeping with its original charter\, admission is free—donations are suggested to ensure the future and quality of Wagner’s free education programs and to preserve its National Landmark building and collections. \nGuided tour tickets: \n$20/adult \n$15/member or senior \n$10/student \nFor any questions\, please email tickets@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x17. \nIf you would like to check your membership status or become a member\, please email KellyT@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x11. \n \nImages: an overview of Wagner’s Exhibition Hall by David Graham & a closer up view of the museum displays by Rob Cardillo.
