The Natural World Museum (NWM) is a cultural institution which provides interpretive art exhibitions to cultivate environmental awareness and inspire social engagement in conservation, offering educational resources for taking action in the preservation of the natural world.
Description:
VISION: NWM will be the world's first venue dedicated to global conservation through environmental art within a working model of sustainable architecture, growing our replicable program model world wide to have the broadest social impact.
PURPOSE: NWM is a cultural institution that collects, cares for, and exhibits world-class art that explores the relationship between humans and the environment for the purpose of generating a sustainable culture.
GOAL: To bring together a coalition of individuals, organizations, and businesses who believe that art inspired by nature serves as a catalyst for cultural evolution and empowers people to make informed decisions about protecting our endangered planet.
History:
Inspired to utilize his world-class art collection as an educational tool for the public, in 2001, Founding Chariman Richard V. Smith teamed up with Mia Hanak, Founding Executive Director, to convene a team of leaders in museum management, environmental education, fine arts, sustainable design and other disciplines to bring the vision of the Natural World Museum to realization. The team designed a permanent and lasting forum for the study and discovery of the world's natural habitats through the interpretive process of painting, sculpture, photography, multi-media installations, and other art forms. The NWM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that will provide a permanent place for local, national and international communities to explore and appreciate the world in which we live.
