 **The David Rockefeller Beetle Collection**

 Brian D. Farrell, Curator in Entomology, Museum of Comparative Zoology; Professor of Biology, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology; Director, David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University

 At the heart of every great collection, be it art, books, or specimens, lies the soul of a passionate collector. David Rockefeller had a passion for beetles and collected more than 150,000 specimens, beginning as a seven-year-old naturalist and continuing throughout his life. This fall, his collection arrives at Harvard, where it will be housed at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Brian Farrell will discuss the development of the collection and its significance to understanding Earth’s biodiversity.

 Lecture. Free and open to the public.
