      As the Crow Flies is an outdoor installation by London, Ontario-based artist, writer, and gardener Ron Benner (b. 1949). Installed on the western side of the Museum, overlooking the Deshkan Ziibi (Thames River), Benner’s work consists of an elliptical or egg-shaped reflecting pool. The pool is surrounded by a rich assortment of plant life, which the artist has cultivated for regeneration every year since 2005. It also supports migrating waterfowl and is an ecosystem for amphibians, insects, and fish.

      Kindly note that each walking tour requires a minimum of 4 participants to proceed. If this minimum is not met, you will be transferred to the next available tour or provided with a full refund.

      This tour meets at Museum London's front desk and will be offered in rain or shine (no refunds).
