#Museum30 Day 1: Your Museum So, I work at a research museum - not quite as warm and welcoming as the classic natural history museums we all grew up visiting. I work at the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, a division of the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History. The halls are a bit sterile (for now!) but the collections are rich and so so so extraordinary! Four collections are housed here: Paleontology, anthropology, zoology, and the herbarium. We are off main campus so there isn’t the hustle and bustle of students or visitors. I’m very fortunate to be taking care of so many fossil invertebrates!

There are now two books available in the Ann Arbor Adventure picture book series that I illustrated: Matthaei Botanical Gardens and the UofM Museum of Natural Natural History. Both are available at sloeginfizz.com and would be such a nice gift for the kiddos — or for you! I’m more than happy to sign them to whomever you’d like and there’s now a spot for you to add that info when you order. Order early for holiday gift giving! . . . #sloeginfizzart #picturebooks #annarbor #ummnh #matthaeibotanicalgardens #kidlitart #kidillustration #kidbookart #michiganartist #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/ClcDh6KPora/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
