This space provides a blank canvas for Yale students to explore what museums can be in the 21st century. Here, students share their art, scientific research, and experiences of the natural world and human culture.
Peabody Museum staff support students in creating original work, selecting objects from the collections, and designing and building their exhibitions, providing hands-on experience in exhibition design, development, and fabrication.
This exhibition highlights the historical, present, and future applications of invertebrate use and research, particularly as it relates to the advancement of biological science and human health.

This exhibition juxtaposed museum-made reproductions–models, casts, and taxidermy–with objects the Peabody Museum has labeled “fake.”
