We Are Water MN – Byron

Bridging scientific knowledges and human relationships with water

I am thrilled to be offering a Cast Metal Make + Take for the “We Are Water MN” traveling exhibit 2026 debut at their first zoo host site! Learn more about water at the newly renovated Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo, alongside the many animals that call it home there.

Cast Metal Make + Take
Science and art walk hand-in-hand as you transform your vision into a tangible creation.  Choose from a variety of “We Are Water MN” themed silicone molds – North American River Otter, Bald Eagle, water molecule – from natural elements, 3d prints and found objects for you to cast your own small sculpture or wearable.  Experience the transformation of liquid metal into a solid casting – choose your mold, pour metal, watch as it becomes a solid and pop it out!  For ages 5 and up. No experience necessary.

The We Are Water Traveling Exhibit
The traveling exhibit examines water issues statewide and in local communities through personal stories, histories, and scientific information. It strengthens Minnesotans’ relationships with water, exposes visitors to new perspectives, and increases participation in water stewardship activities.

We Are Water MN deepens connections between the humanities and water through a network of partnerships, a traveling exhibit, and public events. We Are Water MN helps communities, organizations, and individuals make better, more collaborative, and more relevant choices about water.
