LEXINGTON, MA.-Combining the delights of “sight and sound” at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, Polaroid’s “Fins, Wings and Other Such Things” photography exhibit of nature’s bounty is accompanied by Lexington Symphony Orchestra concerts.

Surprising fine art images of a multitude of living creatures captured by artists for starring roles as subjects were selected from The Polaroid Collection. The company’s global influence on creating art history is preserved in a treasured archive of over 16,000 museum quality images.

In this winter’s unusual exhibit curated by Polaroid’s Barbara Hitchcock, “Fins, Wings and Other Such Things” showcases the unceasing wonders of nature. “From the inception of instant photography over 50 years ago, Polaroid has promoted the arts.

Polaroid’s fine art travels the world and is also located in permanent museum exhibits in France and Switzerland.
