I sure did see a lot of wonderful artwork on my visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Did you know that there are pieces of art in the museum that are more than 5,000 years old? We sure are lucky to have such a wonderful art museum right here in North Carolina that represents art from ancient Egypt to present! Some of the collections in the museum are American, African, Oceanic, New World, Egyptian, Renaissance & Baroque, Greek & Roman, 20th century and Jewish ceremonial art- but my favorite part was being able to hop around outside in the Museum Park Theater. Outside there are giant letters integrated into the park theater that spell out "Picture This." What a fun place the museum was to spend an afternoon!

On Saturday mornings, the museum also offers art classes and special performances for children- to find out more about the fall schedule, contact the Education Department. I hope you get to visit the museum soon!

Off to another great place!
