Families will meet at the nature lab and explore independently. The lab is a perfect place to bring a sketchbook and spend time drawing or just enjoy looking around! For some, an hour will be more than long enough to explore every part of this magical space, for others, a day wouldn't scratch the surface. Please be extremely respectful of this space and everything it contains. No running, no touching. In the 1920s and ’30s, RISD faculty member Edna W. Lawrence would spend summers driving across the country collecting natural specimens for students to work with in her Nature Drawing class. In 1937 she founded the Nature Lab with an original collection of 1,286 objects (including shells, butterflies, minerals, skeletons, seed pods and taxidermy) that grew to more than 25,000 items by the time she retired 38 years later. Today the Natural History Collection includes nearly 80,000 individual specimens. http://naturelab.risd.edu/collections/edna-w-lawrence-natural-history-collection |
