Withthe opening ofRomantic North in the ConocoPhillipsGallery, I’m particularly mindful of thesignificant pieces we have in our artcollection. As I watch staff carefullyinstalling exhibitions, I am ever aware ofthe museum’s role as steward of Alaska’scollections of art, history and culturethat we hold in trust for generations ofpeople to enjoy.Conservation — the preservation,study and treatment of art and culturalobjects — plays a significant role inthat stewardship. A trained paintingconservator worked on nearly all ofthe 25 paintings in the Romantic Northexhibition. Conservation treatmentsincluded cleaning grime from thesurface of the paintings, removingaged varnishes and repairing damageto the paintings.NEWS AND NOTESThe Romantic Movement of the late-18th through mid-19th centuries reachedas far as Alaska, and North Americanartists such as Eustace Ziegler, TedLambert, Sydney Laurence and JulesDahlager captured the romantic idealof Alaska using subtle hues and dreamypalettes. Romantic North showcasesfine examples of this period by theseiconic artists.Thanks to a conservator’spainstaking effort, our visitors mayview the paintings in this exhibitionin glorious detail that reveals eachartist’s unique vision and mastery. Thisconservation work was funded throughthe H.W. Nagley II Conservation Fund. Ihope that our patrons will be moved, asI am, by the spirit of the artist and thespecial privilege it is to have access tothese inspiring works of art.James Pepper Henry DIRECTOR AND CEO‘BODY WORLDS VITAL’ TICKETS GO ON SALE SEPT. 1The Anchorage Museum at RasmusonCenter is owned by the Municipality ofAnchorage and operated under contractby the Anchorage Museum Association,a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.The museum is accredited by theAmerican Association of Museumsand is supported in part by annualcontributions from the AnchorageMuseum Association, the AnchorageMuseum Foundation, the Municipality ofAnchorage and private, corporate andfoundation funds.IMAGE CREDITSCoverImaginarium touch tank, Chris Arendp.2©Gunther von Hagens, Institute forPlastination, Heidelberg, Germany,www.bodyworlds.comp.3 (clockwise)Antto Melasniemi, Don Mohr; TommyMoe, Bill Roth/Anchorage Daily News;Bill Hudok, Monica Garcia; 2012 gala,Chris Arend; Sonya Kelliher-Combs,Kevin G.

Bringing together scientists,anthropologists, architects and artistsfrom across the globe, this symposiumwill propose future solutions. Participantswill take into consideration independence,sustainability, place, geography and culture.The symposium’s goal is to encouragecollaboration between disciplines toenvision futures that reconcile developmentwith traditional lifestyles and fragileecosystems. More details coming soon atanchoragemuseum.org.TRUE NORTH: CONTEMPORARY Art of the Circumpolar Northfeatures many artists who are determined to not only accuratelyconvey the challenges of Northern life, but also to suggestsolutions. These artists are bringing Northern communitiestogether to discuss alternate visions for the future at a time ofrapid climatological, economic and societal change.One example presented in True North is Arctic Food Network,which represents a real-world sustainability solution created by agroup of architects, anthropologists and engineers.Mason White and Lola Sheppard’s installation of 8,100 dowelscreates a topographical map of an area inhabited by 30,000Nunavummiut people. They are scattered across 13 disconnectedcommunities and suffer from a dependence upon expensiveprocessed food imports.As depicted in the gallery, this plan uses existingsnowmobile trails to create a regional network of greenhouses,freezers, fishing cabins and camp hubs, providing a food andtravel network that strengthens cultural exchange betweenInuit communities and offers a foundation for a sustainable,independent economy. Prototypes will be built in the CanadianArctic this fall.True North asserts that as interest in the circumpolar Arcticgrows, so too does the cultural significance of its residents andtheir need to assert their identities and autonomy while creatingstrong partnerships with the global community.Major support for this exhibitionis provided by:Rasmuson Foundation Creative Ventures;BP; Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation;Anchorage Museum Foundation: Emi ChanceMemorial Fund, Larry and Wilma Carr Fund forEducation, William Randolph Hearst Fund forEducation; Nordstrom; Alaska Airlines

ANCHORAGE MUSEUM TODAY p. 5MUSEUM MENAGERIEADDS ANIMALSNew Imaginarium exhibitis the bee’s kneesTHERE’S NO DOUBT the Imaginarium DiscoveryCenter’s star attractions include Chomper theturtle, three-dozen silver salmon and alligatorsAl and Allie. During the summer season, teenvolunteers bring out other animals from backof-housesuch as ball pythons. The teens usethe animals to demonstrate scientific ideas forImaginarium visitors several times a day.Starting July 20, visitors can enjoy thelatest addition to the museum’s menagerie– a bee cam. Staff installed a honeybee hiveon the museum’s roof in April. A camerainside the hive will send a live video feedinto the Imaginarium so visitors can observebee behavior.Bee cams are fairly common exhibits atscience and natural history museums, such asthe Whitney Museum, New York City; NaturalHistory Museum, London; and Museum ofScience, Boston.Honeybees are sophisticated and uniqueanimals that encourage conversations ondozens of important scientific topicsincluding genetic diversity, nature versusnurture, animal communication and insects’role in modern agriculture.The bee dance is just one example ofbees’ complexity. The dancer uses math andastronomy to communicate to other beeswhere to find flowers. She tells other beeswhat direction to fly by lining up her body withthe sun. How long she wiggles indicates thedistance. If the other bees couldn’t interprether wiggles, or didn’t understand how the sunmoves across the sky, the dance wouldn’tbe effective.The honeybee exhibit and otherImaginarium exhibits help visitors of allages explore the amazing workings of thenatural world.To learn more about the museum’shoneybee exhibit, read an interview with ScienceCurator Greg Danner at anchoragemuseum.org.IMAGES: Honeybee, Dreamstime.com; turtle and lizard, Chris Arend
