Field Notes: How Mammals Sense Their World invites guests to experience life through the eyes, ears, and noses of animals. The exhibition draws on the scientific concept of umwelt, the unique way each species perceives its surroundings. Through original artwork, interactive animations, scent-based storytelling, authentic specimens, and animal enrichment tools, the exhibition reveals how mammals navigate and understand their environment.

Created in collaboration with:

• students from the University of Oklahoma School of Visual Art
• Sam Noble Museum
• Oklahoma City Zoo

Field Notes combines artistic expression with scientific research to foster empathy and understanding across species.

This experience brings art and illusion together in an interesting, interactive way to change your point of view. Guests can position their bodies for the best perspective to see mind-bending art and interactive optical illusions.
