蜜桃视频

POCATELLO 鈥� Did you know that 蜜桃视频ans spend more than 2 million days fishing every year? Or that the Salmon River is one of the longest undammed rivers in the lower 48?

The 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History at 蜜桃视频 will open a new exhibit 鈥淕one Fishin鈥�!鈥� on Aug. 21. The museum invites the public to take a great fishing trip with their families to the IMNH.

The exhibit was designed with the goal to submerge visitors into the habitat of both fish and fisherman. So, while visitors won鈥檛 catch any fish at the Museum, they can get hooked on learning.

鈥淭his exhibit presents 蜜桃视频鈥檚 fish in a way you鈥檝e never seen before,鈥� said Leif Tapanila, the IMNH鈥檚 interim director. 鈥淢useum guests will experience a beautiful and interactive exhibit, while learning something new about 蜜桃视频鈥檚 native fish.鈥�

The heart of 鈥淕one Fishin鈥欌�� features a one-of-a-kind art exhibition called 鈥�38 Minus: The 蜜桃视频 Fish Project,鈥� which spotlights all 38 varieties of 蜜桃视频鈥檚 native fish using life size paper relief sculptures created by artist, Lonnie Hutson. It took Hutson, an alumnus of the University of 蜜桃视频, three years to make all the sculptures. The handmade paper used in each sculpture is full of natural materials like volcanic ash and 蜜桃视频 plants, making each piece unique and irreplaceable.

To complement such masterful artwork, the Museum will have interactive, touchscreen stations highlighting more information about each fish, modern and historic fishing camps, wall puzzles and exhibits spotlighting the region鈥檚 local waterway, the Portneuf River.

A dinner party will be held on Aug. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of 鈥淕one Fishin鈥�!鈥� Guests will be able to purchase dinner, drinks, hear from exhibit creators, and make Japanese Gyotaku fish prints. Dinner party tickets, available at the door, are $10 for ages 12 and up, $5 for 11 and under and free for kids 3 and under.

Museum hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sunday and closed on Monday.

Museum admission is $5 for adults 18 and over, $4 for seniors 60 and over, $2 for ISU students with valid Bengal Card, $1 for youths 4-17 and free for children 3 and under.
