That time we went to the Arctic museum at Bowdoin

Have you been to Bowdoin? Did you know that have a really nice (with new building) museum dedicated to exploring the Arctic? Why do they have such a thing? Visit the website to read more, but they note that it is named after Arctic explorers and Bowdoin graduates Robert E. Peary (Class of 1877) and Donald B. MacMillan (Class of 1898).

There is a lot of cool stuff, old and new. For instance, I knew walruses were big. But they are way bigger than my brain imagined. At least the one stuffed at this museum was. See that and more!

Look at how complex this is!

Carved ivory pipe. Not cool to do now, but OK to do back then

A kind of shaman - walrus figurine.

I took a picture of this bird/walrus illustration as inspiration.
