The art of ornithology

To welcome our area’s annual Biggest Week in American Birding,  the TMA is presenting two exhibitions of our fine feathered friends. In Fine Feather: Birds, Art & Science chronicles the intersection of natural science and art in Gallery 18 from Friday, April 25 – Sunday, July 6. "[This exhibit] shows the importance of art to the field of ornithology. We can see the evolution in the way birds were studied and depicted,” says exhibition curator Paula Reich. At the Glass Pavilion, Venetian Glass Birds: Lina Tagliapietra, a small exhibition of elegant, blown glass birds recently created by the distinguished Venetian maestro celebrates the annual songbird migration through the marshes along Lake Erie’s southern shore.

Runs through Sunday, May 25. Toledo Museum of Art, 5600 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org. Free
