The Lloyd Library and Museum proudly announces its Spring Exhibits. The Lloyd Gallery will display the oil paintings of local nature artist, Mary Louise Holt, whose works depict the wildlife, landscape, and indigenous people that once thrived on the Ohio lands before European settlement. The opening reception, Saturday, May 8, 2010, 4–7 p.m., will feature a lecture by the artist, “The Great Ohio Wilderness and Its Native People.” Another lecture by Miami University professor Kevin Armitage, “The Nature Study Movement: Its History and Why We Still Need It,” will cover material in his recent book on 19th century Americans’ efforts to re-discover what was left of the natural environment and to escape the industrialized world they had created. Lectures begin at 4:30 p.m. Exhibits will run through August 27, 2010.
A complementary book exhibit will feature books from Lloyd’s collection containing narrative descriptions written by late 18th- and early 19th-century explorers of North America that Holt used to inform her paintings. In addition, several of Lloyd’s early 20th century books on Nature Study will be on display, including works by Liberty Hyde Bailey, Anna Comstock, and other leaders of the movement, as well as teachers’ guides published by Cornell University, the institutional leader of the movement, and several books on plants, insects, and fields written for children.

Lloyd Library and Museum is proud to have been named Best Hidden Museum by
