Seattle’s Burke Museum always has some interesting events, and Sunday, November 12 will be no different. Combining the annual “Bug Blast” and “Meet The Mammals” events The Burke Museum will have a full day of slimy, cuddly fun.
Hundreds of specimens from both entomology and mammal collections which are not ordinarily on display will be available, but that’s not all. David George Gordon, better known as The Bug Chef will be there with cooking demonstrations and creations to sample.
