When new energy-efficient lights were installed in the Wolf diorama, they created new shadows that weren't consistent with the scene—a moonlit December night on the southern shore of Gunflint Lake in northern Minnesota. Here, Museum artist Stephen C. Quinn adds various pigments to the "snow" to re-create the illusion of shadows that would result from the Moon casting its eerie blue light on the wolves and surrounding trees.
The restored Hall of North American Mammals reopened October 2012.
