This exhibit celebrates the beauty of nature but also emphasizes the delicate connections that exist between all living things. Marvel at 18 larger-than-life sculptures built from more than 275,000 LEGO® bricks, including a majestic monarch butterfly, a hovering hummingbird, a sly fox, and more! Ignite your imagination, create brick-built works of your own, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the relationships and connections that sustain our ecosystems.

This exhibit features a collection of 25 stunning photographic works on canvas by G.L. Andersen, a retired computer programmer with a deep passion for both photography and the outdoors. Known for his creative approach, Andersen transforms everyday images into unique works of art, embracing his love for flowers and the natural world. With a playful disregard for photographic purism, he experiments with artistic alterations, often finding as much joy in reimagining an image as in capturing it.

"Our Wildflowers" is a collection of paintings by Betni Kalk that are inspired by wildflowers from Nebraska and beyond. The exhibit features vibrant depictions of the insects that rely on these flowers, tranquil tree groupings framed by sunlight, and dramatic cloudscapes that hover over the Nebraska landscape. Each piece invites viewers to connect with the beauty of nature and the delicate ecosystems that surround us.
