SUMMARY:Bees: A Story of Survival at ROM
DESCRIPTION:Bringing some buzz into your summer \nJourney into the world of bees in a stunning new immersive experience that brings together the beauty of art with the power of science. Created by the National Museums Liverpool in partnership with award-winning artist and sculptor\, Wolfgang Buttress\, the exhibition highlights 120-million years of bee adaptation and survival\, telling the epic tale of these incredible creatures and their relationship to us and the natural world. \nBased on science and full of imagination\, the experiential exhibition presents a fusion of nature\, art\, music\, and architecture that transports visitors into the world of bees – from the tiny\, fascinating anatomy of a single bee and the magical wonder of honey bee colonies to the important roles bees play in our lives and the everyday threats they face. \nThrough immersive environments\, art installations\, soundscapes\, and more\, learn about the life of bees and the world they inhabit. See an ancient\, fossilized bee encased in amber\, enter a stylized honeycomb\, take a moment to hear “like a honey bee”\, and experience changing patterns of light generated from the sounds of over 30\,000 bees. \nSmall but mighty\, bees are a critical ingredient of a healthy natural world but are under continued and increasing threat. Powerful in what they can provide\, and yet powerless to overcome the threats to their existence\, the exhibition takes a closer look at bees – including some local specimens from the collections at ROM – to help guide a better understanding of what we can do to help prevent bee species from disappearing forever. \nBees: A Story of Survival is an evocative\, engaging feast for the senses guaranteed to take the sting out of getting better acquainted with our buzz-worthy friends.
