| Exclusive Frazier Exhibition Unlocks the Mysteries of the Ancient Samurai |
|  Samurai were as artistic and philosophical as they were dangerous. The epic tale of the one of the greatest warrior cultures in history, and how it shaped an entire nation, is the theme of an extraordinary new exhibition opening May 12 at the Frazier History Museum. The beauty, artistry and richness of this ancient culture are explored through "Samurai," a 3,800 sq. ft. exhibition that immerses visitors in the mysterious, and often misunderstood, world of this vanished Japanese noble class. Read more and see a list of upcoming events and programs here. All kids 14 and under get in free for the run of the "Samurai" exhibition.
