Code Red exhibition

In 2023, Maine Historical Society hosted CODE RED:Climate, Justice & Natural History Collections. It explored how natural history informs past, present, and future through collections old and new. Visitors learned how important the environment is to Maine’s identity and way of life. Supported by scientists and cultural specialists from communities across Maine, CODE RED focused on how museums collect, and the role of humans in creating changes in society, climate, and biodiversity.

The items in the exhibit included taxidermy mounts, mammal skins, shells, fossils, minerals, herbarium sheets, and cultural materials. See products related to CODE RED.
