Wow, a truly unique and memorable exhibit! Christopher's lifelong passion is on full display here for all to enjoy and learn from. The exhibit is thoughtfully crafted with snippets from the artists life and just how one came to get involved in the amazing art that is hidden around us all. The craftsmanship is truly astounding and the breadth and depth of creatures of all kinds is remarkable. I highly recommend spending some time here to connect with nature in a new and unique way.

Summary:
I’ve never seen anything quite like Exquisite Creatures, and it’s such a wonderful addition to Seattle’s downtown neighborhood.
The gallery was beautifully curated with descriptions that are not only informative but sprinkled with humor. I especially loved the interactive elements. Magnifying glasses and special lighting let you examine rare specimens up close, giving you a perspective you don’t normally get, with pieces from all over the world.
The staff were warm and very helpful, which made the visit even better. Whether you’re on a date, out with family, or exploring with friends, this is a must-see. Come with an inquisitive mind and you’ll walk out inspired.
