Into Whooperland Exhibition

Mike’s newest whooping crane exhibition, inspired by his book, Into Whooperland, is available January 2026 at WallSpace-lnk in Lincoln, Nebraska, from January 9 - February 1. Mike is on hand for the public reception from 5-8 PM on Friday, January 16.

1624 S 17th St, Lincoln, NE 68502
Parking out front or in the gravel lot north of Conner's Antiques.

The show is one product of photographer Mike Forsberg’s five-year effort to intimately document this mythical, tallest bird in North America. A companion to the recent self-published book “Into Whooperland” the exhibit includes large prints, most of them never printed before.

Much more than a book on the wall, the display lets viewers follow the whoopers' and Forsberg’s journey through a unique 360 goggle viewing experience flying the “Whooper Highway.” Map spreads, timelapse grids and tiled panels, remote cameras, a blind setup Mike used for fieldwork, and aerial imagery of the 2,500-mile migratory path from pilot and fellow photographer Chris Boyer presented on a large flatscreen create an immersive experience. Forsberg notes, "I’m glad to present this exhibit first at WallSpace-LNK. We look forward to seeing you. Long live cranes.”
