 The [Rockefeller Beetles](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/rockefeller-beetles) exhibit is open at the Harvard Museum of Natural History! Staff were treated to a preview this week and learned about the creation of the exhibit and importance of beetles to David Rockefeller.

 The Harvard Gazette has a brief article - [The Beetles Have Landed](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/10/the-rockefeller-beetles-explores-the-beauty-of-a-major-gift/) - with images of a small sampling of this stunning collection. A detailed article about the collection can be found in the 2017 Gazette article [A Passion for Nature, in Beetles](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/11/a-passion-for-nature-in-a-massive-beetle-collection/).
