UI launches million-dollar fundraiser for rare cyclorama of Laysan Island

News

February 16th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A fundraising campaign is underway to renovate a rare exhibit that’s captivated visitors to the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History for more than a century. The Laysan Island Cyclorama in Macbride Hall provides an immersive 360-degree view of multiple colonies of birds that inhabit the sandy island in the Pacific Ocean. Liz Crooks, director of the U-I Pentacrest Museums, says each bird was brought back by Iowa students and faculty during a 1911 expedition. “There are 102 specimens in the exhibit. Those include birds of all manners, some small perching birds, all the way up to large seafaring birds like the albatross,” Crooks says. “There are all manner of plant life that would be found on the island.”

Cycloramas were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This one opened in 1914 and is among only about 30 such exhibits remaining worldwide. With a little imagination, the surrounding sights and sounds can charm people away to the tiny atoll near Hawaii — some 45-hundred miles from Iowa City.”The mural itself, the background, is 128 feet long and 12 feet high and it’s filled with images of the island,” Crooks says. “It blends seamlessly into the foreground, so it really transports the visitor to that time and space.”

She refers to the cyclorama as a “national treasure” and is leading the charge to raise one-million dollars to give the exhibit a complete makeover, so it will endure for future generations. “It’s going to take that kind of funding to hire conservators to come in and clean and repair those 102 birds. They have not been touched since they were installed in 1914,” Crooks says. “The mural itself needs to be cleaned and that will be a big undertaking.” The renovation project will also include new lighting, updated windows and, perhaps most importantly, the inclusion of heating, cooling and ventilation. “We have no way to control the temperature of the space, which is probably the biggest stressor on the exhibit,” Crooks says. “We see evidence of changes in the mural. It’s cracking, the canvas is flexing. Iowa is either very dry or very humid, and those big swings in humidity are hard on both the specimens and the painted mural.”

To donate to the effort, visit the U-I Museum of Natural History’s website (https://mnh.uiowa.edu/) and look for the link to the Laysan Island Cyclorama Restoration Fund.

Sports

February 16th, 2023 by admin

Shots just wouldn’t fall and the Atlantic girls basketball team saw their breakout season come to an end with a 46-37 loss to Harlan in the Class 3A Region 5 Semifinals on Wednesday night.

The Trojans started the game well with a 6-0 run and led 8-5 at the end of the first. Harlan would rally for a four-point lead at halftime 19-14. The game turned in full favor of the Cyclones early in the fourth quarter. Atlantic had cut the Cyclones’ lead to 2 at 34-32 and then missed a couple of free throws. The Cyclones made a foul shot and then got a big three from Aubrey Schweiso. The following possession the Cyclones poked away a pass and Schweiso raced the other way for a layup, putting Harlan up 40-32. The Trojans wouldn’t get closer than 6 points the rest of the way. A

The Trojans got some of the looks they wanted throughout the night but just couldn’t get some big ones to fall. Atlantic was led by 20 points from sophomore Paytn Harter and 12 from senior Jada Jensen. Atlantic ends the season with a mark of 18-5. Coach Vargason was very proud of what they accomplished.

Harlan was led by 17 points from Schweiso and 13 from Ava Monson. The Cyclones improved to 14-7 on the season and will move on to the Regional Final on Saturday at Des Moines Christian.
