Nature Reimagined Exhibition
The subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world, gardens, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly.
