Until June 1, 2010, the Peabody Essex Museum will be displaying over 30 "improbable works of art" made from items otherwise destined for the dump. Items range from a super-sized bucket of monkeys display made of corrugated cardboard to an oyster shell made entirely of cigarette butts picked up from the beach to a centipede made of bundt cake pans and bicycle brake levers. There are also environmental facts painted on the walls as the museum tries to raise awareness about green living. I guess one man's trash IS another man's treasure!
More information can be found on the exhibit's website.
