Children’s Art Archive: Amazing Pollinators

Each time we welcome a new special exhibit to the Florida Museum, we celebrate by inviting local school kids to contribute original art inspired by the exhibit’s theme to our Children’s Gallery. Selected work is framed and displayed for the public in the gallery nearest our classrooms.

These creations, contributed by six Alachua County schools, were featured in our gallery while the Amazing Pollinators exhibit was open Jan. 25 through March 16, 2020. (Exhibit closed early due to COVID-19.)
