Owl Hollow

 

Nestled into the Little’s Garden at the STEAM & Science centered Discovery Museum in Acton Massachusetts is a family of giant Owls. Built by the Myth Makers during an artist residency, with bamboo and zip ties, this art installation invites children and families to enter, play and explore. Inspired by the local family of barred owls that nest in the hollows of the trees in the surrounding Great Hill Conservation area woods, this family of barred owls is snuggled close together. Children can peer out of the hollow through the brightly colored window openings and pass between the owl family through multiple doors. This installation is sure to be a crowd pleaser and the best part is that with each season it will be transformed by the changing landscape.
