Stunning nature photos now on display at Burke
July 3rd, 2012 by cdunaganAbout 475 people attended the public opening and member preview of the International Conservation Photography Awards Exhibit at the Burke Museum over the weekend, according to Andrea Godinez (Barber), public relations coordinator for the museum.
The amazing photographs will remain on display through Nov. 25 at the museum. For information about this and other exhibits, visit the website for the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
