Holocaust Museum Butterfly Project

http://www.hmh.org/ed_butterfly1.shtml

In an effort to remember them, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting 1.5 million handmade butterflies.

The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for Spring 2013, for all to remember. The Museum has already collected an estimated 600,000 butterflies.

Please facilitate the “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” activity and create as many handmade arts-and-crafts butterflies as possible. This project may be completed by all ages as individuals or groups.

•Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches.
•Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred.
•Glitter and all glitter-related products should not be used.
•Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.
•If possible, e-mail a photograph of your butterflies, to butterflyproject@hmh.org
Please send or bring your butterflies to the Museum
by June 30, 2012, with the following information included:


•Your name,
•Your organization or school,
•Your address,
•Your e-mail address, and
•The total number of butterflies sent.

I sent some for this, didn't realize it was still going on. May send more!

Thanks for posting this! I hadn't heard about it.

Yeah, I heard about it a couple of years ago & was bummed I never got one finished. I was really excited to see they need more. Or maybe this is a different Holocaust museum? Not sure how many there are. We have one here in Los Angeles. Anywhoooo....I'm going to have my son make one with me.

never heard about it either, but I want to work on some to send! Thanks for posting
