UT’s McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture will focus on its collection of bird prints during December with a Family Fun Day and a Stroller Tour.
The museum will feature works from its John James Audubon print collection to highlight winter birds in Tennessee during this programming. Visitors will learn about the different species represented and the artistic process behind these exceptional prints.
A Family Fun Day will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 10. Attendees will enjoy making crafts and listening to stories throughout the afternoon. The event is free and open to the public. All materials will be provided, and reservations are not necessary.
The museum will also host a Stroller Tour on Monday, December 12, from 10 to 11 a.m. The event, called “Tweeting Away,” will focus on the art of printmaking and nature exploration through bird watching and will include a guided craft activity.
The Stroller Tour is free and open to the public, but reservations are necessary and are first-come, first-served. Participants may register online or by calling 865-974-2144.
