'Return to Earth' Exhbit

“Return to Earth” features photographs of actual fungi by Mike Hammer, painted mushroom models, a Carolina Piedmont snail shell collection and two-dimensional cut paper works by Meredith Connelly that reference nature’s microscopic structures.

This exhibit leads viewers into Connelly’s “Decomposers Glow,” a concurrent exhibit highlighting the variety and importance of nature’s agents of decomposition.

“Return to Earth” is on exhibit from May 4 to Dec. 15. 

More of Mike Hammer’s photography is on exhibit in the museum’s Nature Nook Gallery. “Endless Trail” features the natural settings of the Carolina Piedmont and beyond, capturing the uniquely beautiful moments of each season.

“Endless Trail” opens on May 18.

The Museum of York County is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.,  excluding holidays.
