If you happen to be in Rhode Island, check out this exhibit at the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium. CURIOUSER: New Encounters with the Victorian Natural History Collection, conceived and curated by Erik Carlson and Erica Carpenter, asks six artists to engage with the museum's collections in order to create new original installations in the Museum's lobby gallery.

Above is an image of Jennifer Raimondi's "Comfort," a stuffed fawn covered in more than 700 paper moths. (Dawn Marie Temple/Bellaria Designs Photography). Read Cate McQuaid's review of the exhibit here + in the Boston Globe.  Visit the museum's website here +
