Power the Migration: A Monarch Exhibition
Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) undertake an incredible multigenerational migration from Mexico to the northern U.S. and Canada and back again every year. Learn more about these incredible creatures at Power the Migration: A Monarch Exhibition. In 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) to its endangered species list. Power the Migration is designed to foster a love of monarchs and encourage visitors to take action to support these creatures during migration season and beyond.
