Parlour Birds

Parlour Birds is a hallway in the Ossuary section of Convergence Station. It connects Lyra's Keep, the Library, and Macarenia. It is made up of elaborately decorated, increasingly tilted walls and passageways. The memory of extinct avian species is recorded in the wallpaper.
There are six extinct bird species represented, brought out for us once more in the Convergence. The hallway is divided into 3 archways, each forming their own unique section. In the first, the extinct birds are seen painted in full-color. Over the next two sections, however, the archways begin to tilt and the birds begin to disappear from the walls, making their way into the hallway itself as 3D objects. In the final section, all that remains of the birds on the walls is a faint outline.
Soft piano music and leaf rustling can be heard.
The models are 3-D printed and hand painted in Denver, as Denver artist Maya Linke recounts in the detailed Meow Wolf article about the exhibit.
