Friday night we attended the The Mythic Creatures:\u00a0 Dragons, Unicorns & Mythic Creatures<\/a> Exhibit at the Cleveland Natural History Museum.\u00a0 This is a traveling exhibit and it has been at museums from New York, Atlanta to Sydney, Australia.\u00a0 We have been waiting for the exhibit to come to Cleveland and it is now here until July.<\/p>\n

Joe Leonard<\/a> has a few pieces in the exhibit.\u00a0\u00a0 Joe Leonard is a good friend and is an extraordinary wood carver.\u00a0 Joe designs and carves one of kind treasures for customers all over the world.\u00a0 One of his claims to fame is that he designed and carved the 17 armored horses for the outside row of the Euro-Disney Carousel in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>About 10 years ago, Brandon took a few carving lessons from Joe.\u00a0 They have become good friends over the years.\u00a0 Brandon goes to Joe’s shop weekly and helps out on his current projects.\u00a0 He helped on Joe’s Pegasus which is in the exhibit and we were excited to see Joe’s carvings in the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the exhibit.\u00a0 First is a blurry picture of Brandon and Joe, I am a very good photographer \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There is plenty more to see at the exhibit.\u00a0 Also, while at the museum don’t miss the outdoor area where they have animals native to Ohio.\u00a0 They have birds, otters, foxes and much more.\u00a0 They have deer too and this young buck was enjoying the stream on that warm March evening.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Natural History Museum has always been one of our favorite museums in the area.\u00a0 Make sure to check out the Mythical Creatures exhibit.\u00a0 It will be here until July 1st.\u00a0 Also, if you want to see more of Joe Leonard<\/a>‘s works, check out his website by clicking on his name.<\/p>\n
