Artifact of the Month - Eastman Kodak Brownie

Step back to 1928 with July’s featured artifact of the month—a Brownie camera from Turtle Bay’s Permanent Collection! Developed by George Eastman, this compact, user-friendly camera made photography accessible to everyday people for the first time. Donated in 1974 (and still working at the time!), it's the perfect companion to our Discover Steampunk exhibition, where history meets imagination.

Read more on the blog and visit the Museum to see it in person!

My Life with Animals: Feisty Felines

As bobcat kittens grow up, they practice life skills with their litter mates and of course, mom. Whisper, our bobcat, didn’t have any litter mates with whom to practice so it all fell to her surrogate moms, Adrienne and me.

Turtles Teach: Springtime Science

The weather is warming up, the sun is starting to shine (sometimes) and flowers are starting to bloom! All of this makes a wonderful combination to do some science! In this project we’re going to create rainbow flowers.

From The Vault: Water, Water Everywhere

Here at Turtle Bay, we are perfectly poised to watch the Sacramento River as it rises and falls with each controlled change in the release level and with every rainstorm. The plaza under the Sundial Bridge is underwater, but that has happened a few times since it was completed in 2004.
