Straight from the Academy Library and Archives! This plate is part of "Illustrations of the most beautiful and rarest pieces of the princely natural history cabinet in Bayreuth with explanations" QH71 .B2 N2 (1748) by German Naturalist Peter Christian Wagner. This extremely rare work highlights the most interesting specimens contained in the curiosity cabinet of Bayreuth, Germany in the 18th century. Only four sections of 12 colored plates were issued.

Check out this incredible art by Kindergarten stud

Check out this incredible art by Kindergarten students at Frankford Friends School! Teacher Danielle Pramick reached out to us to let us know that students had been inspired by our Plastic-free Philly artists. ⁠
⁠
"At the end of the school year, we studied water, trash, and water quality. After learning about the problem, the students decided they wanted to create art with recyclable materials. As we were building it, I came across the new exhibit to promote Plastic-free Philly. They were really inspired by the Artists' statement videos. Here is our artwork, maybe it will inspire someone else! It's so great to see kids and adult artists sharing similar values to create a better community."⁠

Did you know? Plastic waste accounts for 56% of trash removed in a single year from a 32-mile stretch of the #schuylkill and Delaware rivers.

We're partnering with the Philadelphia Water Department and BOMA Philadelphia on #PlasticFreePhilly, a volunteer led effort to reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles.

A series of temporary art installations have been installed around the city to inspire participation. Learn more and how you can get involved at ansp.org/plasticfreephilly
