About Small Wonders: Insects in Focus

Crawl, fly or buzz into the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library for an exhibit that's like none other!

What is Small Wonders?

Small Wonders features large photographs of very small animals. Artist Bob Sober worked with entomologists (people who study insects) to create images that capture the astonishing colors, patterns, textures, and details of the bug around our world. 

We hope that Small Wonders inspires you to think about the world under our feet and the humans desire to create art about the world around them.
