Join us for June's Third Thursday as we celebrate Land and the Cosmic: Work from the MAM Collection, featuring a curator talk with Assistant Curator Cait Finley exploring the themes and works at the heart of this exhibition.

The land beneath our feet holds more than we can imagine — and the evening goes deep in time to prove it. Inspired by the exhibition's exploration of earth, place, and the vast scales of existence, Kallie Moore, Collections Manager of the UM Paleontology Center, brings a special fossil show-and-tell that bridges the cosmic and the prehistoric. Get up close with some of Earth's most remarkable former inhabitants — a T. rex brain, buzzsaw shark teeth, and yes, giant ground sloth dung! These remnants of deep time feel right at home alongside artwork that asks us to consider our place on — and within — this planet.

Live music by Izzak Opatz. No host bar. Dreamy’s Soft Serve.
