**Closing Reception: March 15, 7-8pm**

Meet the Morphoids is an overview of the Institute of Morphoid Research, and the creatures it studies. The Morphoids are unusual creatures, identified by the distinct peeling quality of their skin.

The Institute of Morphoid Research is dedicated to the study and preservation of the creatures falling within a new phylum, Morphopodia. The Institute aims to document all aspects of the Morphoids, through many avenues of study and research, including observation, photography, video, drawing, anatomical study, and eventually, dissection.

This exhibit follows the stories of a few of the Morphoids through a museum style, didactic panel presentation. Through this exhibition, the Institute aims to further educate the public, expand its reach and attract a new audience.
