Exhibition to highlight endangered amphibians and other endemic Mexican species. Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is excited to announce "The Axolotl’s Garden/El Jardín del Ajolote," an expansion of the popular "Imagine Wild" exhibition, will open this fall.

Beyond Axolotls, the new exhibition will also showcase other unique Mexican species, inviting guests to explore each animal’s tale of survival and adaptation. "The Axolotl’s Garden," created in collaboration with acclaimed Mexican-American artist Itzel Islas, is more than an exhibition — it will transform Birch Aquarium into a living story-world inspired by the ecological and cultural richness of Mexico and Baja California.
