NIGHT MELODIES…
As we move into the ‘dog days ’of summer I am always amazed at the night sounds when sitting on the patio or walking in my gardens—No, I am not referring to vehicles, sirens or people. My ears are focused in on the serenading sounds of the ‘crickets’ and ‘katydids’ their cousins. They are singing and harmonizing their songs, to find a mate, love is in the air.

Curator's Corner
Every museum has objects that are "found in the collections". Many times these found in collections items remain a mystery, but that's where you come in. If you have any information please let our collections staff know: themuseum@nmjc.edu.
