Anchorage Museum, 625 C Street, Anchorage, AK 99501

"Frozen Forms" fills the museum’s first-floor family galleries with giant sculptures and playscapes where visitors are encouraged to play, learn, and imagine within the context of Alaska’s winter mainstay: snow.

The Anchorage Museum presents the exhibition Frozen Forms by Collective Paper Aesthetics from November 15, 2024 until April 6, 2025 at the Patricia B. Wolf Family Galleries

Frozen Forms fills the museum’s first-floor family galleries with giant sculptures and playscapes where visitors are encouraged to play, learn, and imagine within the context of Alaska’s winter mainstay: snow.

Created in collaboration with Collective Paper Aesthetics, a Netherlands-based architectural design group, an installation of large sculptures evoke ice crystal formations found in snow: stellar dendrite, needle, and capped column. While snowflakes’ crystalline structure forms through bonded water molecules, these forms are shaped by interlocking modular components made of recycled cardboard.

The exhibition also features hands-on drawing and building activities, encouraging learners of all ages to engage with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) principles, inspired by snow and ice crystal geometry.
