We Made History - The Story of North Carolina
Our Story Continues ... On Saturday, Nov. 5, from 11am to 4pm the N.C. Museum of History kicks off its largest exhibit ever at the Celebrate NC History Festival. The Story of North Carolina highlights more than 14,000 years of the state's history. Part One of this permanent exhibit  opened in April, and now the entire exhibit is complete. More than 80 presenters from across the state including award-winning musicians, storytellers, dance groups, authors, craftspeople, re-enactors and other presenters will capture the flavor and diversity of the Tar Heel State. There will be something for all ages and the first 100 families to tour the exhibit will receive a gift bag from the Museum shop. A big variety of food vendors will be onsite and admission to the festival and the exhibit is free!
Keep Busy: The Story of North Carolina provides interactive experiences throughout the exhibit. For example, step inside a reproduction of an  American Indian dwelling. Explore a re-created weaving room of an early 20th-century textile mill, where you watch the lint fly and hear the ear-piercing machinery. In an exhibit area about the Civil Rights movement, see a lunch counter that played a pivotal role in a 1960 sit-in in Salisbury. Catch performances by the Red Clay Ramblers, The Chairmen of the Board, Molasses Creek and many others.
Thanks For The Memories: See artifacts, such as the state's fourth-oldest house, built in 1742 in Pitt County. Observe stone tools from the state's earliest inhabitants; objects recovered from the shipwreck that is Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge; uniforms and weapons from the Civil War and two World Wars; agricultural tools and equipment; objects made by North Carolina artisans; and much more.  | |

Dutch Treat - Rembrandt in America at NC Museum of Art
On display now through January 22, 2012, a new exhibition at the North Carolina Museum of Art brings together forty-six authentic Rembrandt van Rijn paintings, the largest number from American collections ever  assembled. More than 10,000 tickets had been pre-sold for " Rembrandt in America" and there are hopes for even greater attendance than the 200,000-plus visitors who viewed the museum's " Monet in Normandy" exhibition.
Picture This: Rembrandt (1606-1669) is one of the most important painters in the history of European art. He is renowned for his uncanny ability to depict light and shadow, to capture the emotions of his sitters and to intimately share historical and religious stories. "Rembrandt in America" includes works such as the recently cleaned portrait pair of the Rev. Johannes Elison and his wife, Maria Bockenolle, the only full-length portraits by Rembrandt residing in the United States. Other highlights include "Young Man in a Black Beret" (1666), a superb example of the artist's expressive style; "Joris de Cauerii" (1632), a portrait of a gentleman, which displays Rembrandt's masterful handling of light and texture, and Rembrandt's moving depiction of the Roman heroine, "Lucretia" (1666).
Fake it Over: The history of Rembrandt paintings is not without misattribution. American industrialists, in search for centerpieces for their art collections, led the passion for collecting European Old Masters. Because of the highly competitive and lucrative market, many of the paintings that came to America were misattributed to Rembrandt by scholars and art dealers. In the exhibition, "The Feast of Esther" (circa 1625) and "Young Man with a Sword" (c. 1633-1645) from the North Carolina Museum of Art are two such paintings formerly attributed to Rembrandt that are now assigned to other artists. |

TheBeltlineBuzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on TheBeltlineBuzz. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of TheBeltlineBuzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "TheBeltlineBuzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your BeltlineBuzz. We look forward to delivering it. |
