Listen to a curator talk about this work.
I am obsessed with collective nouns, or special words for groups of animals, and birds get the best ones. You might see a murder of crows, a flamboyance of flamingos, or a murmuration of starlings. But the waxwing has the best collective noun for this exhibition. A group of waxwings is called a museum.
