Starting June 16, 2013, take a journey to New Guinea and the exotic world of birds-of-paradise with \u201cBirds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution,\u201d a National Geographic Traveling Exhibition coming to the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College that reveals all 39 species of these elusive birds for the first time. Highlighting the groundbreaking research of photographer Tim Laman and Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientist Edwin Scholes, the exhibition, born out of the duo\u2019s important scientific achievement, features the extravagant plumage, crazy courtship dances and bizarre behaviors of the extraordinary birds. The exhibition will run from June16 through September 22, 2013.<\/p>\n

Equal parts natural history, photography and science exhibition, \u201cBirds of Paradise\u201d gives visitors an in-depth look into the lives of birds-of-paradise. Visitors will meet Tim Laman and Ed Scholes through introductory videos as they enter the exhibit, where they will also be greeted with natural soundscapes, traditional wood carvings and a montage of all 39 birds-of-paradise species. They will be able to dive into their groundbreaking research and learn brand new information about each of the 39 species, all finally photographed for the first time in history.<\/p>\n

In addition, visitors can examine the bizarre courtship dances that the males perform to attract the females. Interactive games such as \u201cDance, Dance Evolution\u201d let people dance along with the birds to learn their signature moves. The first-ever video of the female\u2019s point-of-view of the dances is shown, captured through an innovative use of equipment created by Laman and Scholes. Photos, videos, bird specimens and a kinetic sculpture of a riflebird (a bird-of-paradise species) also show the transformations that birds-of-paradise undergo to attract their mates and the various moves that make up their mating rituals. Visitors can also manipulate artificial tree branches to trigger video footage of different birds displayed on their perches, with commentary from Scholes.<\/p>\n

The exhibition highlights the importance of birds-of-paradise to New Guinea. Maps and diagrams of the birds\u2019 ranges across the country explain how the country\u2019s environment allowed the birds to adapt and evolve over time. Legends and folklore are shared from generations past.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pleased to be invited by National Geographic, in their 125 Anniversary year, to be the opening venue for the national tour of this informative and fun exhibition about these amazing birds,\u201d says Gene Jenneman, Executive Director of the Dennos, \u201cAs the Dennos enters its 22nd<\/sup> year of service to our region, we are excited to partner with National Geographic to bring this truly special exhibition to the Grand Traverse area and the State of Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission to the Dennos Museum Center during the run of this special exhibition will be $10 for adults and $5 for children and museum members.<\/b><\/p>\n
