The Insectarium opened in 2023, a permanent installation in the American Museum of Natural History’s Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation. The exhibition was art directed by Catharine Weese. Rayna Weingord served as the lead designer on the Gilder Center from 2021 until it opened in 2023. She worked with Eleanor Kung, Molly Magnell and the AMNH’s in-house team.

Rift and Aglet Slab, both monolinear with round stroke endings, support the approachably educational science center. The condensed proportions of Rift lend it toward titles, while Aglet Slab performs in exhibition-scale paragraphs. Atlas Grotesk is used for smaller-scale body copy, such as in the Insectarium Educator’s Guide.
