It’s an opportunity to experience the world of STEAM through hands-on learning and exploration.”

First exhibit of 2025 ‘The Fragile Bee’ coming to San Bernardino County Museum
There’s a new exhibit coming to the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM). The Fragile Bee: Works by Nancy Macko explores the relationship between technology and nature as art. With her use of honeycomb imagery combined with close-up photography, artist Nancy Macko expresses the interconnection of life with art and nature.
Nancy Macko is the director of the Digital Art Program at Scripps College in California. She has been teaching and producing art since the 1980’s–showcasing her work in more than 140 exhibitions.
Using multiple mediums, her work is a striking integration of science and art depicting the complexity of the natural world. In addition to teaching and creating artwork, Macko is highly involved in museum and curatorial work. She has held state and national leadership positions as an advocate for the arts.
For those interested in visiting, this exhibit will open on Friday, Jan. 10 and last until June 8, 2025.
