Objects and Experiences

This guide features the importance of collecting objects as a representation of the natural world.  These can be original nature specimens or representations like digital photos.  Culturally we shift back and forth between which is more important in studying and understanding life: objects or experiences.  The post-post-modern era has emphasized experiences over objects.  I have been teaching for 30+ years and am pretty sure that both are important in having a full experience of the natural world.

Museums are beginning together art works and nature collections, an acknowledgement that both represent human endeavors.
