The return of spring means many things at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. For one, exciting programming returns as we gear up for yet another busy season.

Secondly, our unofficial Museum mascot, the marmot, has found his way out of his winter hiding place and into the rocks that line Rungius Road. Since most marmots are highly social, we like to think that our marmots are no exception, especially after being cooped up in their burrows all winter long. Not only do our visitors have springtime events and exhibitions to look forward to, but even the drive to the Museum provides an educational wildlife experience for those lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the marmots lounging in the sun.
