スミソニアン博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (スミソニアン博物館Instagram)「Hey there! I’m Siobhan Starrs, and I’ll be taking over the Smithsonian Instagram account for the week. I’m the Project Manager for the just-opened #DeepTime fossil hall at @SmithsonianNMNH, where I’m captain of the immense team of people who made it possible. I’ve been working on this for more than 10 years! What excites me the most is that for the first time we connect the strange and wonderful history of life on Earth to what’s happening right now. And it’s a REALLY BIG story. The nine dioramas in the exhibition (by Hockley Studios) help tell that story in a small space. They bring ancient animals, plants, and the landscapes they inhabited to life. With stunning landscape paintings by Dwayne Harty and leaves and animals as tiny as a few millimeters long, these landscapes are as artful as they are accurate. Look closely for some hidden “Easter eggs,” such as the roosting bats in the Paleogene Forest scene or the Arctic hare hidden in the ice sheets around 20,000 years ago.」6月11日 5時51分
