Perfect for social distancing outside this fall – grab this TMY Projector with 100 Inch Screen for under $70 when you click the $50 off coupon!!! I don’t know how long this coupon will last, so don’t hesitate getting it for movie night with the neighbors!

This item has great reviews and is loved by many. We recently bought one and it works great. Above, you can see how it looks when we used it for a movie night. The picture is great, the sound is good, and we had a ton of fun. My husband made a frame for the screen out of pvc pipe that can be taken apart and easily assembled when we want to watch something. You can check out those directions on how to make an outdoor movie projector screen stand here.

Fernbank Opening New Outdoor Exhibit

If you’re looking for something neat to do outside, Fernbank Museum is opening a new outdoor exhibit.

Beginning Saturday, January 30, 2021, Microsculpture: The insect portraits of Levon Biss, magnifies these tiny creatures into large-format, high-resolution portraits in the context of Fernbank Museum’s immersive woodlands to highlight the beauty of some Earth’s most misunderstood critters.  

These larger-than-life photographs will be placed in the Fernbank’s Nature Gallery in WildWoods. Guests will take in these striking photos in this secluded, yet experiential and museum-curated forest environment, filled with its own variety of insect species and located just minutes from the heart of downtown Atlanta. The vivid and opalescent photography delivers pops of color against the woodlands and magnifies some of nature’s overlooked inhabitants against the large scale of the towering trees.  

Eleven insect species from around the world will be featured as a part of Microsculpture at Fernbank. Species include visually stunning insects such as the Orchid Cuckoo Bee, Ruby-Tailed Wasp, Amazonian Purple Warrior Scarab, Tortoise Beetle and more, presented in exquisite detail.  

Microsculpture was created by award-winning photographer Levon Biss with insect specimens from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Each dazzling and detailed image took nearly four weeks to produce and was created from over 8,000 separate images using different microscopic lenses and lighting.  

Microsculpture: The insect portraits of Levon Biss from the collections of Oxford University Museum of Natural History is provided to Fernbank by the American Museum of Natural History. 

Microsculpture is on view at Fernbank from Saturday, January 30, 2021 until Sunday, May 2, 2021. Fernbank is located at 767 Clifton Road in Atlanta. Parking is free.  

The exhibit is included with general admission and is free for Fernbank members. Timed, online tickets are required in advance at FernbankMuseum.org at $20 for adults, $19 for seniors and $18 for children*.  To purchase tickets or view pre-visit information, frequently asked questions, safety protocols and more, please visit FernbankMuseum.org. 

*Tickets not purchased online start at $19.95 and may not be available due to safety precautions that limit capacity.
