NCMA: Miracle on Morgan Street Exhibit

Running until April 11

From NCMA: In 1947 the North Carolina General Assembly passed an unprecedented appropriations bill setting aside one million dollars for the purchase of a public art collection, leading to the creation of the North Carolina Museum of Art in 1956. The Museum’s opening culminated a 30-year effort to establish an art museum in downtown Raleigh and was hailed in the local press as the “Miracle on Morgan Street.” This exhibition tells the story of the NCMA’s founding and development between 1946 and 1960, including its acquisition of an impressive core collection; early leadership under a veteran museum director, Wilhelm R. Valentiner; and receipt of a nationally significant donation of art from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation in 1960.

From Tobacco Road Tours: The "Raleigh Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour" is a family friendly 1.5 mile walking tour designed for all ages (age 8 and up, please) of goblins seeking a unique and different downtown Raleigh experience.
