Become a “poeto-saurus” with poet-in-residence Eric Elshtain. Find his typewriter station in the Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet, near the entrance to SUE’s gallery, and use dinosaurs and museum objects as inspiration for a poem.
The pop-up invites visitors to encounter the collection through creative writing, whether they are first-time guests or museum regulars. Participants can develop their own poem with Eric; no previous poetry experience is needed.
