Some of the most celebrated wildlife images in U.S. history will be displayed this spring and summer at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
“Drawn to Nature,” a collection of 75 John James Audubon bird prints, will open April 1 in several galleries at the IMA. The exhibit’s final day is July 30.
Audubon made his mark in ornithology by documenting birds in drawings and field notes while living on the U.S. frontier more than 175 years ago.
The “Drawn to Nature” pieces are associated with Audubon’s iconic book “The Birds of America,” which featured hand-colored prints made from engraved plates.
