Behind the Scenes-Education Center Bird Case

Planning work continues for the newly renovated museum space. In this video, exhibit designer Brewster Buttfield shares his vision for the display cases in the new education center. Brewster is working closely with education staff to capture the spirit and unique attributes of Maine’s bird population. They will choose highlights from the hundreds of bird specimens in the museum’s collection.

Gathered together, the differences between beaks, feathers, and claws are remarkable. The new display will give visitors the chance to admire the birds up-close.
