The Museum Roadshow: Winter Edition
to
S.C. State Museum 301 Gervais St., Columbia, South Carolina 29201
The Museum Roadshow: Winter Edition, one of the South Carolina State Museum's most popular events, is back with special gallery tours and tours of storage areas. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about the stories and value of their heirlooms and artifacts from experts in a variety of fields who will be onsite offering informal, verbal appraisals. Experts will be available in the areas of fine art, silver, pottery, furniture, books, jewelry, textiles and dolls, as well as military artifacts.
New this year, guests will get behind-the-scenes tours of the museum storage areas and get an up-close look at artifacts not on exhibit as well as items the State Museum acquired from guests after previous Museum Roadshows. Guests will also be able to experience a docent-led tour of Art: A Collection of Collections, which will focus on how the museum acquires artwork for the museum's collection, including an amazing quilt that was discovered as a result of the Museum Roadshow. Museum staff will also be available for discussions about caring for your personal archival material and a presentation on weaponry from early to mid-20th century.
Tickets are $25 for the first item ($20 for museum members), $35 for two items ($28 for members), $40 for three items ($32 for members) and $45 for four items ($36 for members). There is a limit of four items per person. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at scmuseum.org, in person at the museum or by calling 803-898-4999.
