The Butterfly Project
In an effort to remember those who died, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting 1.5 million handmade butterflies.The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for spring 2012, for all to remember. They have already collected about 400,000 butterflies.
This project may be completed by all ages as individuals or groups. Butterflies should be no larger than 8 ins by 10 ins. Butterflies may be of any medium, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred. Glitter should not be used. Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.
Please send your butterflies to the Museum by 30 June 2011, with the following information: name, organisation or school, address, e-mail address and the total number of butterflies sent. Mail your butterflies to:
