Denizens: Wildlife on the Western Frontier

This exhibition elucidates the breathtaking variety of the fauna of the American West of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The spectrum of indigenous wildlife on the American frontier – from wild horses and bison to eagles and rattlesnakes - will be on view through sixty-four vintage engravings by legendary artists including John James Audubon, Karl Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, and Frederic Remington. Through a generous loan from UM’s Department of Wildlife Biology, corresponding animal specimens will also be on view.
