New exhibit at James Museum honors wildlife artist John Seerey-Lester
Published
A new exhibit at the James Museum celebrates nature and conservation.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Those familiar with the James Museum and its history in St. Petersburg are quite used to the American-western theme throughout the venue. However, a new exhibit at the museum takes visitors on a different visual journey into vivid colors and fantastic wildlife.
The James Museum artist John Seerey-Lester was an active member of Artists for Conservation, and to honor his memory, 20 of his conservation art paintings will be on display along with a collection of 60 paintings and sculptures of endangered wildlife and rare creatures.
Museums, meanderings and more in St. Petersburg

Visit the Dalí Museum, the James Museum and take in much, much more
Want to take a walk inside a Vincent Van Gogh painting? Perhaps experience an evening with his celebrated “Starry Night” or take a garden stroll surrounded by the artist’s joyful and sunny “Sunflowers” in a totally immersive, multisensory way?
You can do that with a visit to the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg by taking in the Van Gogh Alive exhibit, on display through April 11.
When I made the visit not too long ago, I hated to see my sojourn end. Yes, I know immersive and multisensory are words that might sound over the top, but in this case, the description fits. Van Gogh Alive is an exhibit that is not just for viewing, but also for feeling and hearing. And I did.
