Jellies: Living Art will close on


September 1, making this summer
your last chance to groove to the
beat and beauty of this award-
winning special exhibition.

You helped us create Jellies. When


we asked what you’d like to see in a
new exhibit on jellies, you said a cel-
ebration of their ethereal beauty.
We responded by commissioning
works of art in a variety of media
that complemented the stunning
simplicity of these fascinating inver-
tebrates. Our aquarists searched for
the most dazzling exotic jellies from
all over the world like the blue jelly,
Mediterranean jelly, flower hat jelly
and spotted comb jelly - and the
result was magic.

Jellies: Living Art made news,


made history and held us all in
wonder. Experience it once again
this summer before it closes.
