Frogs - A Chorus of Colors is a modular traveling exhibition that introduces
visitors to the amazing and sonorous world of anurans-the frogs. Although most
people have no aversion to frogs, their beauty and elegance are often overlooked.
These amphibians are among the most visually stunning, vocally pleasing and
adaptively remarkable life forms on earth. If you've never thought of frogs
as beautiful, this exhibition will change your mind!
Frogs - A Chorus of Colors is designed to transform an exhibit gallery
and offer visitors the feel of a frog's world. Stunning backlighted graphic
panels with colorful images by Joe McDonald, John Netherton, Bill Love and other
renowned wildlife photographers cover the walls of the exhibition island. Frog
habitats, complete with rock ledges, live plants and waterfalls, protrude through
the island walls. Living frogs from around the world offer a glimpse of the
vast palette of frog diversity. Sturdy interactive components invite visitors
to activate recorded frog calls, touch models, view videos of frogs in action,
spin a zoetrope, and test frog knowledge on subjects from basic to bizarre.
Throughout the exhibition visitors are immersed in the sights and sounds of
frogs.
Frogs are challenging to exhibit and hasty attempts with "pet store" aquariums
often fail. Frogs - A Chorus of Colors includes self-contained custom
habitats that provide lighting, humidity, temperature and water quality control
to meet the needs of the exhibit animals and the visiting public. There is no
other traveling frog exhibition equal to this one in scope or quality. The exhibition
includes 15 frog habitats complete with naturalistic decor, filtration and life
support systems; 12 interactive components; and over 35 backlighted informative
panels. The modular design permits tremendous layout flexibility. The full exhibition
requires 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Smaller versions, priced accordingly, are
available to fit nearly any exhibit space.
Frogs - A Chorus of Colors is a turnkey exhibition. Reptiland supplies
the frogs and an experienced zoo professional remains with the exhibition to
care for the living collection, culture food insects and perform daily maintenance.
