UPDATE: Yellowstone to Yukon photography exhibit at the Burke MuseumYellowstone to Yukon photography exhibit at the Burke Museum
June 16 - December 31, 2007
The Burke Museum on the University of Washington campus
UPDATE: Through our partnership with the Burke, we are now able to offer Mountaineers members a 2-for-1 coupon on entrance to the Y2Y exhibition. Take advantage of this great deal so you don't miss the images from this truly amazing project.
This summer, the Burke Museum partners with The Mountaineer Books to launch the first of three wildlife photography exhibits grappling with the greatest conservation issues of our time. Opening June 16, Yellowstone to Yukon: Freedom to Roam will feature photographs of the Rocky Mountain West by German-born Florian Schulz and documents the ambitious effort to preserve wildlife corridors from Yellowstone National Park to Canada?s Yukon Territories. Such corridors would link existing parks and public lands to ensure the survival of one of the world?s last intact mountain ecosystems.
An award winning nature photographer, Schulz has dedicated ten years of his life to documenting the drama and beauty of North America?s largest wildlife corridor: the Rocky Mountains. His 40 large format color photographs have captured the drama and beauty of this Western ecosystem and its diverse landscapes, wildlife, and people. Schulz has received honors from the BBC?s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition and Nature?s Best International Photography Awards.
The Burke Museum is located on the University of Washington campus, at the corner of NE 45th St and 17th Ave NE. Hours are 10 am to 5 pm daily, and until 8 pm on first Thursdays. Admission: $8 general, $6.50 senior, $5 student/ youth.
Mountaineers members can download a 2-for-1 coupon for reduced admission to the Burke Museum for the duration of this exhibition. Download the coupon here.
