Event Description:

Over the span of 90 years, banker and philanthropist David Rockefeller
collected beetles from around the world, eventually building a
personal collection of more than 150,000 specimens. In 2017, his
longstanding support for the entomology department of the Harvard
University Museum of Comparative Zoology culminated in a gift to the
museum of this extraordinary collection. Join the Harvard Museum of
Natural History in celebrating this invaluable gift with a visit to
The Rockefeller Beetles — a new exhibit that features hundreds of
specimens from Rockefeller's collection and recounts the story of a
man whose childhood pursuit grew into a lifelong passion.
