Butterflies from the "Heardlings"

 

When I was at the Heard Museum last Saturday, they told us about a children's project they had been working on with the many children who visit the museum. They lovingly call those young visitors "Heardlings".  

Children create these little colorful butterflies and write messages on them and museum staff place them on the walls in the Grand Hall.

I think there might be some budding artists among those children.  A few of the butterflies had some original designs on them.

What a great project for the children and it compliments the Meryl McMaster exhibit just a few steps away.  I posted about the Meryl McMaster exhibit here and here.
