These plywood brooches are inspired by wood-boring insects that quietly go about their business in and around the museum buildings. Each brooch is crafted by the museum’s artist, carefully painted onto plywood, and finished with a unique touch. Since these are handmade products, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each insect is unique, just as in nature—some are more understated, while others are strikingly colorful. This makes them an excellent gift for both nature lovers and those who appreciate distinctive design. By pinning a tiny museum resident to your lapel, you carry a piece of our heritage with you.
