By depicting wildlife as part of an ecological setting\, and highlighting places in need of preservation\, they played a critical role in building the conservation movement. The Bell Museum’s dioramas were created during the peak of the diorama era and are considered among the finest in the world. When the Bell Museum started to plan for a new facility\, moving and re-interpreting the dioramas was a central concern. \nIn this talk\, Don will trace the history of dioramas\, introduce the artists and naturalists who created the dioramas here in Minnesota\, and discuss the process of moving and re-imagining them for the new Bell Museum \nAbout Don Luce\, Curator of Exhibits\, Bell Museum\, University of Minnesota \nDon Luce has worked in the museum world for four decades.
