“Taking Flight: The Butterfly Project”

Friday, Feb. 12, 2016 – Saturday, Dec. 31, 2016

Holocaust Museum Houston will mark its 20th year of teaching the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy with an exhibit 20 years in the making with the help from children across the world that commemorates the 1.5 million children who died in the Holocaust. Since 1995, children from every continent except Antarctica have brought or sent handmade butterflies to the Museum as part of “The Butterfly Project,” an effort to collect 1.5 million handmade butterflies to commemorate each of those children who perished. Beginning Feb. 12, 2016, a selection of those inspiring creations go on display at the Museum in one of the most important art exhibitions ever displayed as part of “Taking Flight: The Butterfly Project.”
