Join poet-in-residence Eric Elshtain in the Ronald and Christina Gidwitz Hall of Birds and make poetry inspired by birds and museum specimens.
The pop-up offers a creative way to encounter the collection: visitors can explore objects, develop an idea, and work at Eric’s typewriter station to create a poem. Newcomers are welcome, and no previous poetry knowledge is necessary.
