The David L. Mason Hand’s On Art Museum presents artful, educational interactive experiences using Art, Science, History and Nature to explore the theme of Albertus Seba’s eighteenth century natural history classic. Visit our science station where you can study cool charts and draw what you see with our trio of microscopes focusing on animals, plants and insects. Get a closer look at whole insects inside the Giant Microscopes. Visit the dinosaur fossil cave where mysteries of the past are revealed through careful excavation. Capture colorful birds with markers as you float down the bayou. Get the “inside” scoop with our animal and insect x-ray matching station. These and more nature-related art experiences await you here at DFAC!
