Test your skills with the ancient art form of Gyotaku, Japanese fish printing. Discover how this art form originated, and learn a thing or two about fish anatomy while you create your very own Gyotaku t-shirt to take home. All supplies, including one t-shirt per person, are provided.


Beetles and butterflies and ants, oh my! Unseen wonders are magnified in this summer’s Backyard Buzz exhibit! Explore larger-than-life insects that call Eastern North Carolina home. Learn how you can help make their lives a little bit easier by supporting and protecting wild spaces.
