Drop-in Sketching: Spinning Squirrels

Have you ever wished you could use the Royal Alberta Museum’s collections for sketching inspiration? Now’s your chance! We'll be showcasing rarely seen museum objects to create a still-life setup for you to practice your drawing skills.  

This month RAM is bringing out a load of your favourite little critters with beady eyes - squirrels! They will be displayed on special spinning platforms, so you’ll be able to get just the right angle to draw these small-but-majestic specimens.
