A SNOWFLAKE LIKE YOU鈥橵E NEVER SEEN: 鈥楩ROZEN FORMS鈥� EXHIBITION OPENS AT THE ANCHORAGE MUSEUM

On view Nov. 15, 2024 - April 06, 2025

ANCHORAGE, Alaska听鈥� What if you could create a giant snowflake that wouldn鈥檛 melt?

The 果冻传煤 Museum is doing nearly that with a little imagination and a lot of cardboard in the exhibition 鈥淔rozen Forms,鈥� on view Nov. 15, 2024, through April 6, 2025.

Inspired by the intricate symmetry of snow crystal geometry and the large-scale cardboard sculptures of the design group Collective Paper Aesthetics, 鈥淔rozen Forms鈥� fills the museum鈥檚 first-floor family galleries with giant sculptures and playscapes where visitors of all ages are encouraged to play, learn and imagine within the context of Alaska鈥檚 winter mainstay: snow.

The forms installed within the space evoke ice crystal formations found in snow: stellar dendrite, needle, and capped column. While snowflakes鈥� crystalline structure forms through bonded water molecules, the sculptural forms in 鈥淔rozen Forms鈥� are shaped by interlocking modular components made of recycled cardboard.

Accompanying the forms throughout the multi-gallery space are real and artistic renderings of individual snowflakes, information about snow geometry and the role of environment and weather on snow, and an area where visitors can build a snow fort out of LEGO blocks.

The result is a dynamic visual experience that fosters a sense of community and collective creativity and offers a distinctively fun and Northern take on the science 鈥� and technology, engineering, art, and mathematics 鈥� of snow.
