Discover

Emmet Gowin never intended to start this project. Rather than saying Emmet Gowin discovering the beauty of moths, their subtle beauty found him and created this decades long exhibition that truly is a labor of love to nature.

Walk through the space exploring what’s behind each column. The beauty of moths really come to life when you take the moment to pause and admire their simple beauty.

Moths are drawn to light– as visitors walk a proximity sensor will brighten the corresponding lights.

Explore the space and discover your own moths. Be aware– moths are finnicky. Some moths only come out at certain times, or when certain conditions are met, if you want to find out more you should visit the Carnegie Museum of Art!
