Meet Warren OstromWarren Ostrom is a Rock Island industrial painter and artist Young Warren suffered from learning disorders but at that time they were unknown He didnrsquot learn to read until he was in high school Warren disappointed his parents and annoyed his teachers but this troubled boy was a leader among his peers During the Korean War he was chosen for the Underwater Demolition Team the elite combat swimming corps that was the precursor of the Navy SEALs When Warren returned from the war the only job he could get was digging graves He eventually opened Ostrom Painting completing government painting jobs around the US

Warren is inspired by the power and beauty of nature During his journeys he collected interesting objects from nature to use in his artworks Although he was born a EuroAmerican his works embody the essence of the Great Plains and the native peoples who loved the land You can see his work featured in the exhibit Spirit of the Land A Tribute to Native American Plains Culture Exhibit sponsored by the Riverboat Development Authority

Meet Warren OstromWarren Ostrom is a Rock Island industrial painter and artist Young Warren suffered from learning disorders but at that time they were unknown He didnrsquot learn to read until he was in high school Warren disappointed his parents and annoyed his teachers but this troubled boy was a leader among his peers During the Korean War he was chosen for the Underwater Demolition Team the elite combat swimming corps that was the precursor of the Navy SEALs When Warren returned from the war the only job he could get was digging graves He eventually opened Ostrom Painting completing government painting jobs around the US

Warren is inspired by the power and beauty of nature During his journeys he collected interesting objects from nature to use in his artworks Although he was born a EuroAmerican his works embody the essence of the Great Plains and the native peoples who loved the land You can see his work featured in the exhibit Spirit of the Land A Tribute to Native American Plains Culture Exhibit sponsored by the Riverboat Development Authority

Meet Warren OstromWarren Ostrom is a Rock Island industrial painter and artist Young Warren suffered from learning disorders but at that time they were unknown He didnrsquot learn to read until he was in high school Warren disappointed his parents and annoyed his teachers but this troubled boy was a leader among his peers During the Korean War he was chosen for the Underwater Demolition Team the elite combat swimming corps that was the precursor of the Navy SEALs When Warren returned from the war the only job he could get was digging graves He eventually opened Ostrom Painting completing government painting jobs around the US

Warren is inspired by the power and beauty of nature During his journeys he collected interesting objects from nature to use in his artworks Although he was born a EuroAmerican his works embody the essence of the Great Plains and the native peoples who loved the land You can see his work featured in the exhibit Spirit of the Land A Tribute to Native American Plains Culture Exhibit sponsored by the Riverboat Development Authority

AMNH Science Bulletins Coming Soon to the PutnamExciting new visitor opportunities abound this summer so make sure your plans include a trip to the Putnam We are very pleased to announce that through a generous grant from the Alcoa Foundation the Putnam will become one of 40 museum sites nationwide who will utilize the American Museum of Natural History Science Bulletins system

Science Bulletins are high-definition current science video exhibits in the areas of bio astro human and earth sciences AMNH bulletin boards stream video and information

on the latest research from these four subjects so that visitors can have access to the newest possible discoveries and advancements in these critical science areas

Visitors to the Putnam will be able to see the boards in action early this summer when two large-screen formats are installed in our Hall of Mammals and Black EarthBig River exhibits and two kiosk units will be utilized in our atrium and gems and minerals hallway for hands-on visitor use

The thing about the Putnam is that it is such a wonderful community resource It is the keeper of our past It preserves our memories It educates us about the world we live in with exciting hands-on experiences It connects us to other people and cultures we may never know about but for the Putnam It stimulates our imaginations and projects us into the future of ldquoWhy notrdquoThis marvelous institution belongs to all of us We must keep it alive and vibrant by our interaction with it Attend programs IMAX films and exhibits Contribute to its upkeepVolunteer Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization What better place to help out than your local museumI began volunteering at the Putnam Museum as a school group host Being a retired educator it was important to keep connected with students in a fun and rewarding way Other opportunities have come my way through special programs offered by the Putnam Museum Little did I know that I would have the dubious honor of dressing up as a climate change sheep for Night at the Museum (along with other great volunteers) or of expanding my taste buds to include fried crickets and mealworms for Survivor Day But most of all being a part of this vibrant community keeps me energizedLooking to have fun meet new people and make a difference in your community Come join the Putnam team Yoursquoll love itSusan Sharar Putnam Museum

The thing about the Putnam is that it is such a wonderful community resource It is the keeper of our past It preserves our memories It educates us about the world we live in with exciting hands-on experiences It connects us to other people and cultures we may never know about but for the Putnam It stimulates our imaginations and projects us into the future of ldquoWhy notrdquoThis marvelous institution belongs to all of us We must keep it alive and vibrant by our interaction with it Attend programs IMAX films and exhibits Contribute to its upkeepVolunteer Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization What better place to help out than your local museumI began volunteering at the Putnam Museum as a school group host Being a retired educator it was important to keep connected with students in a fun and rewarding way Other opportunities have come my way through special programs offered by the Putnam Museum Little did I know that I would have the dubious honor of dressing up as a climate change sheep for Night at the Museum (along with other great volunteers) or of expanding my taste buds to include fried crickets and mealworms for Survivor Day But most of all being a part of this vibrant community keeps me energizedLooking to have fun meet new people and make a difference in your community Come join the Putnam team Yoursquoll love itSusan Sharar Putnam Museum

The thing about the Putnam is that it is such a wonderful community resource It is the keeper of our past It preserves our memories It educates us about the world we live in with exciting hands-on experiences It connects us to other people and cultures we may never know about but for the Putnam It stimulates our imaginations and projects us into the future of ldquoWhy notrdquoThis marvelous institution belongs to all of us We must keep it alive and vibrant by our interaction with it Attend programs IMAX films and exhibits Contribute to its upkeepVolunteer Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization What better place to help out than your local museumI began volunteering at the Putnam Museum as a school group host Being a retired educator it was important to keep connected with students in a fun and rewarding way Other opportunities have come my way through special programs offered by the Putnam Museum Little did I know that I would have the dubious honor of dressing up as a climate change sheep for Night at the Museum (along with other great volunteers) or of expanding my taste buds to include fried crickets and mealworms for Survivor Day But most of all being a part of this vibrant community keeps me energizedLooking to have fun meet new people and make a difference in your community Come join the Putnam team Yoursquoll love itSusan Sharar Putnam Museum

The thing about the Putnam is that it is such a wonderful community resource It is the keeper of our past It preserves our memories It educates us about the world we live in with exciting hands-on experiences It connects us to other people and cultures we may never know about but for the Putnam It stimulates our imaginations and projects us into the future of ldquoWhy notrdquoThis marvelous institution belongs to all of us We must keep it alive and vibrant by our interaction with it Attend programs IMAX films and exhibits Contribute to its upkeepVolunteer Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization What better place to help out than your local museumI began volunteering at the Putnam Museum as a school group host Being a retired educator it was important to keep connected with students in a fun and rewarding way Other opportunities have come my way through special programs offered by the Putnam Museum Little did I know that I would have the dubious honor of dressing up as a climate change sheep for Night at the Museum (along with other great volunteers) or of expanding my taste buds to include fried crickets and mealworms for Survivor Day But most of all being a part of this vibrant community keeps me energizedLooking to have fun meet new people and make a difference in your community Come join the Putnam team Yoursquoll love itSusan Sharar Putnam Museum
