Blowing Rock Art and History Museum Exhibit Opening Reception

April 10,  6:30 to 8  PM at the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum  (BRAHM) , 159 Chestnut Street, Blowing Rock NC -  Exhibit preview reception for Curious Collections. Hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served. Cost for the reception will be $30 payable at the door.
What do quizzical face jugs, G-scale model trains, colorful tobacco tags, wooden outsider folk art, a Remington bronze and handmade pieced quilts have in common?  They will all be a part of the upcoming exhibit, Curious Collections, which will open to the public on Wednesday, April 11.
The exhibit includes a wide variety of fascinating objects from nearly 30 collectors from across North Carolina, exploring not only the rich histories of the objects but also delving into the psychology of collecting, which is deeply entrenched in human nature. In the process, exhibit guests will be encouraged to uncover the collector in each of us.
The exhibit, chosen because of its wide-ranging appeal and lighthearted nature, will run from April 11 through the first of August.
