Year-round events keep the Charleston area buzzing. Music and tempting aromas fill the air. Witness world-renown performances at Spoleto, get a taste of our heritage at a small town oyster roast or discover the find of a lifetime at an antique show. With so many events taking place, you'd better mark your calendar now.
New hands-on exhibit for children! "Around the World" looks at China and Japan (January 21- May 20), the Indian Subcontinent (May 22 - August 26), and Mexico and the Caribbean (August 28 - December 31, 2008).
Each exhibit features toys and games from the area as well as children's clothing. The Museum's education department will offer special family programming throughout the summer and fall.
The China and Japan exhibit includes Chinese paper dolls, a pair of swords made from Chinese coins, a child's coat and trousers sewn form Chinese silk, and a Japanese paper kite.
Children can see pieces from the Indian Subcontinent, such as a carved ebony elephant from Sri Lanka and a toy horse and rider from Pakistan.
Molas from Panama, a drum from the Haitian Revolution, and a child's costume and dolls from Mexico round out the Mexico and the Caribbean portion of the exhibit.
Admission to Kidstory is included with general Museum admission (free for members; $10 for adults, $5 for children 3-12, under 3 free).
