A new exhibition titled Seeds: Nature’s Artful Engineering is open at The Morro Bay Museum of Natural History in Morro Bay State Park and will run through Feb. 26, 2023. Sponsored by the Central Coast State Parks Association, Seeds: Nature’s Artful Engineering features over 25 detailed photographs of seeds in wild and garden settings, as well as over 30 seed specimens for viewing up-close and under microscope. The images vividly portray the intriguing seed structures and dispersal mechanisms of native plants as they enter the final stage of their evolutionary biology: ensuring the survival of plant life. The exhibition aims to increase awareness and appreciation of seeds and their incredibly valuable role in California’s ecological systems.
The exhibition will be available to view at the Morro Bay Museum of Natural History during open hours from 10am-5pm, 7 days a week.
Seeds: Nature’s Artful Engineering is an exhibition developed by Jennifer Jewell and John Whittlesey, and is traveling through Exhibit Envoy. Exhibit Envoy provides traveling exhibitions and professional services to museums throughout California. For more information, visit www.exhibitenvoy.org.
