Monarchs and Milkweed Opening Day | Bell Museum
January 25 @ 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Welcome the new exhibition Monarchs and Milkweed: A Story of Survival with our co-host, the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV), and guests Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina (COPAL), Urban Roots, Metro Blooms, and the UMN Bee Squad!
Visit us for a day of monarch fun! See Monarchs and Milkweed, play monarch trivia and matching games, make a monarch life cycle bracelet, view monarchs and other specimens under the microscopes in the Touch and See Lab, and write a postcard home to your monarch family after your own “migration.” COPAL will feature a bilingual monarch migration activity, and during a special Story Time at 10:30, we’ll read Señorita Mariposa in English and Spanish.
MJV will have special monarch-themed merchandise available in a pop-up shop.
