Recently the museum’s Exhibition Designer and Building Systems Lead Lindsay Smith installed new benches in The Meadow, a landscape of prairie plants native to the Flint Hills adjacent to the #BeachMuseumofArt. Milkweeds and other species here provide food and habitat for Monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Enjoy this prairie garden adjacent to the Beach Museum of Art right on K-State campus!
Thanks to some very special K-State alumni for donating the benches, which are replicas of the benches in New York City’s Central Park.
The Meadow helps build meaningful connections among art, science, and enjoyment of the natural world. It is a project of the Beach Museum of Art’s Prairie Studies Initiative, in collaboration with K-State staff, faculty, students, and members of the surrounding community.
