On June 2, the Bruce proudly presents the National Geographic Photo Ark, featuring more than 50 compelling images by National Geographic photographer and Fellow Joel Sartore. Photo Ark is an ambitious project committed to documenting every species in captivity. Sartore has worked in more than 250 zoos, aquariums and animal rescue centers in over 40 countries around the world. To date, he has taken intimate portraits of nearly 8,000 species. Once complete, the National Geographic Photo Ark will include portraits of over 12,000 species representing several animal classes, including birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Photo Ark will be on view at the Bruce through September 2, 2018.
“The stunning photographs in our upcoming Wild Bees and Photo Ark exhibitions blur the line between science and art,” says Dr. Daniel Ksepka, Curator of Science. “They document nature's diversity with incredible precision. Visitors will be surprised to witness the spectacular variety of wild bees in their own yards at large scale, and will feel the powerful emotional impact of the animal portraits in Photo Ark.”
