Museum Skills Workshop: Bird Wing Preparation

Location: Meet at the Red Dot in the Lobby
Age group: 12 and up
Cost: $36 and includes General Admission

When you walk through a natural history museum, it’s easy to marvel at the incredible diversity of specimens on display, from tiny insects to majestic birds. But have you ever wondered how these specimens are prepared and maintained behind the scenes?

Go behind the glass, and learn the art of ornithological preservation. Under the expert guidance of Corey Scobie, Assistant Curator of Ornithology, participants will learn how to spread and pin a bird wing the same way curators do for a museum collection.

Important Note: This workshop involves working with real animal specimens and associated biohazards. All necessary tools and materials are provided by RAM and included in the registration fee.

This workshop is open to anyone aged 12+, with no previous experience necessary. Participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
