"Confidence comes from a space of humility. It is spawned when we dare to see the world through an alternate lens. It grows when we have the courage to embrace the experience of the unknown and the unknowable."
Virtual Museum
It�s easy to look at an object but how much do we really notice about it. In these exercises we�ll explore natural objects from unusual points of view. You�ll be able to hear what curators say, as well as to think yourself into the character of the object its self.
