Wings & Words: The Rhodes Collection of Birds and the Belcher Bird Library
Discover the rich avian heritage at The University of Akron (UA) with the convergence of two remarkable collections –once esteemed as Ohio’s most valuable collections— in the exhibit, Wings & Words: The Rhodes Collection of Birds and the Belcher Bird Library.
Both ornithology collections were donated to The University of Akron by prominent Akronites in 1904 and a century later in 1994. Displayed together for the first time, the Rhodes Collection of Birds and Belcher Bird Library celebrate the beauty and significance of natural history preservation and education. Wings & Words invites visitors to appreciate science, literature, and our feathered friends by visiting the exhibit on the ground floor of Bierce Library by the MakerStudio. Guests are welcome to explore the exhibit during Bierce Library’s open hours and visit the accompanying Exhibit Guide.
Open now through December 23, 2024.
