Photos needed for Amazing Feats of Aging Wall of Fame

The Neville Public Museum is looking for photos to display on the Amazing Feats of Aging exhibit’s Wall of Fame. Photos must be of a person 55 or older, preferably with a younger family member. The photo must also include a brief note on a 3” x 5” card, notecard or piece of stationery that gives the names and ages of the people in the photo, their relationship to one another, and a sentence or two about the positive aspects of aging.

Amazing Feats of Aging, on display at the Neville from January 31 through May 3, 2009, is a carnival-themed, interactive exhibit that encourages intergenerational learning. It explores the mysteries of aging and the wondrous achievements made by humans and animals as part of this biological process.

Photos and cards selected will be put on public display in Amazing Feats of Aging for the duration of the exhibit. Not all photos may be displayed and photos and/or notes will not be returned.

Amazing Feats of Aging was created and is toured by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The exhibit was supported by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources. MetLife Foundation is the National Tour Sponsor for this exhibition.
