Encore Presentation:
The Natural World: Photographs by Thomas D. Mangelsen
|
Thursday, November 19, 2009
7:00PM Presentation by Thomas D. Mangelsen
Free for members, $10 non-members
The opening reception and presentation on October 1 by renowned photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen was so popular that not everyone who attended the event was able to hear Mangelsen speak. Fortunately, those who missed his engaging talk have another chance to be regaled by his stories of work in the field. Mangelsen will present an encore on Thursday, November 19, 2009. Blue ticket holders, please arrive early to get your seat.
The Natural World chronicles award-winning photographer Thomas D.
Mangelsen's experiences in 10 unique natural areas through panoramic photographs
and excerpts from his journals. Mangelsen's journal entries take us on his daily
excursions through the jungle, across the icebergs, and down the coast of
Iceland. He describes the losses and (sometimes) the preservation of these wild
places. The Natural World will appeal to art and photography lovers,
scientists, school groups, and visitors to the Museum. The companion book for
this exhibition, also titled The Natural World, took top honors in the
coffee table book category of the Benjamin Franklin
Awards and is available for purchase in the Museum Shop.
