The annual Canstruction exhibit is back at the State Museum. It opened Wednesday and will be on display through April 24.
Canstruction? The exhibit is a fundraiser for The Food Pantries of The Capital District. Design teams work to build large displays almost entirely out of canned goods. Visitors to the exhibit can vote on their favorite structure by dropping canned goods in collection bins. The overall goal is to collect 50,000 cans and $50k. (You can also donate online.)
The theme for this year's exhibit is "Welcome to Storytown," so the exhibits all have storybook-type themes.
After the jump, photos from this year's exhibit. But it's more check them out in person because you can see how they're canstructed.
