Hello. I work in the Exhibits Department at the California Academy of Sciences, a non-profit museum in San Francisco, CA. We have selected this image for display in our new museum.

We would display it in a slideshow in an exhibition, not on a website. As a result, we can’t link to your license terms. Would you still grant us permission to display it as long as we attribute the work to you? If so, please specify what credit recognition you require.

We are on a tight production schedule and would appreciate a response as soon are you are able. Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Annette
