In celebration of our 125th anniversary, we’re bringing specimens—including a piece of our original 1893 World’s Fair collection—to you.

Join us at The Whistler and peer into a specially crafted diorama on display through September. While sipping a cocktail, get a whole new look at the history and science of alcohol in a series of conversations with Field experts.

At Pickled, Birds Collections Assistant Kayleigh Kueffner and Staff Scientist Holly Lutz explain how and why some animals are preserved in alcohol.

Diorama at The Whistler is on display through September. All events are free and 21+. You can see the diorama whenever The Whistler is open.
