This weekend, Christy and I and her folks went to the NC Museum of History in Raleigh and one exhibit on the third floor was very impressive to me.
Pleasing to the Eye: The Decorative Arts of North Carolina
Objects from the museum's collection, including furniture, ceramics, metalwork, silver, portraits, pottery, and textiles ranging from the 1600s to the late 1900s.
I checked out the furniture for a good hour as everyone else filtered by me. I can't tell you how impressed I was with some of those pieces, especially the ones by Thomas Day. Anyway, it's free and there were things setup for kids to do. Might be a fun day/afternoon for anyone in the area.
Cheers, ccasion1
