New exhibition at San Antonio's Witte Museum celebrates spiders

Just when folks start hanging spider decor around their house for spooky season, the Witte Museum is installing its own arachnid accoutrement. The museum's latest exhibition, Spiders — From Fear to Fascination debuts in the Kathleen and Curtis Gunn Gallery on Saturday, Sept. 28, and it aims to debunk myths surrounding these misunderstood members of the animal kingdom. The exhibition was designed by experts at the Australian Museum and features 250 spider specimens, including 16 live ones, such as the black widow and brown recluse.
