About the Project

Now is your chance to examine all the intricacies of the insect world... without a microscope!
​​

A long-arm beetle more than ten feet tall, a giant butterfly with a five foot wingspan, and heavily-armored stag beetles with jaws as big as your leg await you in this fascinating look at the insect world.

​

BUGS: Outside the Box presents a selection of greatly enlarged insect sculptures, each showcasing the beauty hidden within the (mini) beasts of the natural world. 
Intricate details not visible to the naked eye are showcased alongside educational topics, including an exciting look at museum collections and taxonomy, and an exploration of the power of magnification.

​

​Outhouse Exhibit Services has teamed up with Italian sculptor and naturalist Lorenzo Possenti of Ecofauna to create this traveling exhibition, which is the premiere of his work in the United States. Lorenzo's exceptional and detailed works of art showcase the marriage of art and science.  Watch the videos below to find out more about this extraordinary artist.
