Our exhibition at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon last year was a resounding success! It was a huge undertaking that took over a year to produce. After a ton of hard work, lots of help from the amazing exhibits team at the museum, and a week of 18hr days, the world's first artistic and educational exhibition of large-scale meteorite petrography was open to the public. We're proud to share these photos of the finished exhibit. Thanks so much to everyone who helped support us in realizing this vision!
